Dr. Mark Roden contributes a video that not only shows us how to improve the built in TypeAhead feature by adding a visual Indicator to tell the user it’s actually working, BUT he also takes a deep dive into FireBug and show’s us how XPages is constructing the control behind the scenes. I think it’s a fascinating look into the inner workings of XPages and Dojo.

Lotusphere thoughts and some announcements.
Wed, Feb 9th 2011 7:21a David Leedy I had a great Lotusphere. Though I wouldn’t have known it from the beginning as I was sick, and I mean REALLY sick on the Saturday I traveled, but luckily by Sunday I started feeling human and got ready for the week.
And what a week it was. I presented BP210: XPages: Enter the Dojo with Paul Withers. We’ve not yet gotten an email regarding evals (which is killing me by the way), but I THINK it went pretty good. I did an introduction to using pure Dojo with XPages and then Paul kicked [read] Keywords: lotusphere

NotesIn9: Extended Edition 05: XPages CMS App Walkthrough
Fri, Jan 28th 2011 7:33a David Leedy I’m really happy about this show because I have another great guest speaker. Chris Connor has come one to take a look at a production application and then go into designer and talk about how some of the pieces work.
This is an Extended Edition so it’s a little longer and more detailed then the normal shows. Chris opens up designer to show how some of the features on his website was built. Lots of good nuggets of information in there. [read] Keywords: notes

Finding me at Lotusphere
Mon, Jan 24th 2011 5:18p David Leedy I’ve seen a couple of these kinds or posts so I figured I’d give it at go.
I doubt anyone will be looking for me, but if anyone does I should be easily findable. I’ll be sitting up front at most of the XPages sessions.
That’s about it really I think. I’ll be at SpeedGeeking tuesday night and blogger open on Thursday. I present a XPages: Enter the Dojo on Tuesday afternoon and I’ll probably stop by the VideoFest lounge more then once, and thanks to my [read] Keywords: lotusphere

NotesIn9: 22- Reviewing TLCC XPages Courses
Mon, Jan 24th 2011 9:39a David Leedy In this show I do a review of TLCC’s distance learning products. I talk about what they offer and then do a demo of what their courseware by looking at their XPages lessons.
Disclaimer:
I was not paid for this review. Over the years I’ve purchased with my own personal money several TLCC courses, including the first XPages course. However, I was given a free review copy of the second XPages course and I do talk about that course during the show. [read] Keywords: notes

XPages Cheat Sheet: Here it is!
Thu, Jan 20th 2011 4:44p David Leedy Here is the XPages Cheat Sheet that I’ve promised to the community.
I’m releasing this a little earlier then Jan 29th, which I had originally planned, just in case someone spots an error then I MIGHT be able to fix it before it goes to the Lotusphere printers.
The cheatsheet references the domain xpagescheatsheet.com, which is not currently live. I originally thought about hosting the files there and using that to assist in translating it to additional languages, but now I’ [read] Keywords: lotusphere

XPages CheatSheet Update
Wed, Jan 19th 2011 8:59a David Leedy Just wanted to give everybody an update on the XPages Cheatsheet that I blogged about a bit ago.
Last night I sent an almost final version to IBM for some test printing. Joyce Davis was kind enough to take some pictures for me so I wanted to share. I have a couple of more tweaks to make and then this initial version will be finished and ready for Lotusphere.
She’ll be printing a BUNCH I’m told, but we have no idea what the interest will be so hopefully there will be enough.

“NotesIn9 Live” will be Speed Geeking at Lotusphere
Sat, Jan 15th 2011 7:43a David Leedy If’ you’re going to Lotusphere one event that shouldn’t be missed is SpeedGeeking on Tuesday night.
What’s SpeedGeeking? It’s this big room with 12 tables. Each table has 1 presenter. A host takes the crowd and divides them up between the tables. Usually by birth month I THINK.
Each presentation is 5 minutes. NO MORE! The presenters repeat themselves 12 times as everybody goes around to each table.
DRINKING is involved typically. It’s a lot of fun a [read] Keywords: lotusphere

XPages Cheatsheet in other languages?
Thu, Jan 13th 2011 8:29a David Leedy As I posted yesterday I’m working on an XPages cheat sheet. Here’s the thing. I only speak English and some Pennsylvania Dutch.
If there’s anyone out there that wants to help translate the cheatsheet into another language, like German, or Swedish, or whatever, please let me know and I’d be happy to make a version of it for any particular language. Though that won’t happen before Lotusphere.

Learning XPages? Here’s how to Cheat.
Tue, Jan 11th 2011 5:00a David Leedy I won’t bore you with the entire back story of how this got started, so let’s just say that I blame it all on Joyce Davis from the Lotus Technical Education Community. Anyway…
Most developers have seen “Cheat Sheets” before. They have them for PHP, HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, Blueprint CSS… They even have them for Math subjects like Algebra,Calculus and Trig and other school type subjects… You can buy pretty ones in bookstores… There are website [read] Keywords: lotus

Sun, Jul 11th 2010 11:45p David Leedy It’s been a little while. I’m glad to be back and look forward to getting some more shows out in the next several weeks. Lots of ideas in the “queue”.

For the technical portion of the show, I give a demo on how to use Server Side JavaScript (SSJS) to retrieve a categorized column total and put it on an XPage.

Well, I haven’t been actually been canceled, but it sure feels like it at the moment. My “network” has cut me off. This means that the embedded videos in my posts won’t play and I assume any new iTunes subscriptions won’t work either.

Notes In 9 – 018 – XPages: Data Relationships
Wed, May 12th 2010 7:49a David Leedy In this demo I talk how the ability to do a lookup inside a view control or repeat control allows us to do some different data modeling that has never been possible in traditional Notes development.
I’ve created a little example that allows you to link contacts to each other and assign relationships between them. As a bonus, I show an example of using a view control and also a repeat control. In addition I have an example of reversing it to show who is related to a particular contact. Simi [read] Keywords: notes
