Sharepoint is the next big thing for me at work, and I always end up comparing new things to Domino. So would anyone like to see a series on Sharepoint for Domino Developers?
It never ceases to amaze me how often I learn something new about a product I have been working with for 12 years. This time it was a little known formula reference called “@UpdateFormulaContext”.
It was just a silly little thing where I have an outline, and instead of giving users a link […]
For those of you who are not familiar with Hungarian Notation, may I suggest you never familiarize yourself with it, and if you are familiar with it, do you still use it?
After spending a few hours extending some LotusScript libraries written by an external vendor, my hatred for Hungarian Notation has resurfaced. Besides the […]
Awesome idea from William Beh at Lotus Notes on Web 2.0, where he used the Rico/Scriptaculous Accordian effect on Domino web categorized views. I have started to use the accordian in my web designs along with the Scriptaculous “Blind-Down” effect for online help. Users find it unobtrusive, and I can have pages of […]
It was inevitable, and it has been demanded. I knew it would come, but I really had no idea why Blackberry is the only option in some people’s minds. There are so many incredible devices out there, that can do so much more, what is it with this device? Well, after a few […]

Ok, not a real comparison, but some curious behavior on the part of a DocumentCollection has reminded me why I abandoned manually creating DocumentCollections in favor of a good, old fashioned arrays. Not to say that the documentcollection does not have its uses, but I cannot figure out why it would not work for me […]
A business need has recently forced the issue to create an interface that can read an RDBMS, collate the data, present it for informational purposes, and provide a reporting mechanism to collect errors in the data. Not very unusual requirements, but a good example of how “competing” technologies can be used in tandem, both […]
A quick post on a headache….
So we are setting up our test environment that will have Domino providing web services from behind IIS using the WAS plugin. The thinking is that we can provide secure services with no additional logins. Since the Lotus documentation on this configuration is lacking, I had used some […]
Over the years I have worked with a few portal products like Websphere, Aptrix, Oracle, Tibco, and about a dozen PHP open source solutions. My current employment has me working for an organization with some bad experiences with Java (write once, twice, and again…) and have decided that for web development projects we will use […]
