Comments on: XPages in Domino 8.5: impressive! http://per.lausten.dk/blog/2008/06/xpages-in-domino-85-impressive.html A blog on Lotus Domino, IT Architecture, technology and other IT stuff by Per Henrik Lausten Fri, 03 Sep 2010 00:53:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Jan B http://per.lausten.dk/blog/2008/06/xpages-in-domino-85-impressive.html/comment-page-1#comment-434 Jan B Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:37:02 +0000 http://per.lausten.dk/blog/?p=167#comment-434 quintessens has a point, though its rather blunt. Many applications doesn't need this feature, because of simplicity required. A simple list with a couple of meta data will often do wonders for the users, compared to their struggles of storing data and keeping track of naming and redundancy in a file-folder structure. Plus, I think the learning curve of a loosely bound database were more intuitive to "developers" sitting in the business units. To me SharePoint is targeting this audience. And does it very well. So there must be gold there! The current demo of Xpages clearly shows ordinary users: Stay Away! That said -obviously because of my lack of skills, the complexity in doing anything more than just simple lists. validation, updates data-integration would certainly benefit the developer with experience in IIS, XML, WSDL, SOA, SQL-server, C#, Visual Studio, ASP.net.... The SharePoint learning curve is impressive! I too think Xpages is a really great improvement. I missed a SQL interface, as I think this would target the classic and potential new developer much better -And probably save a few clicks :-) quintessens has a point, though its rather blunt.
