I have recently found two online architecture journals that are available for free:
At FTPOnline you can even find other free online journals on subjects such as Java and Visual Studio.
You can subscribe to both online and print subscriptions of the The Architecture Jounal for free.
Happy reading!
Peter Eeles (Senior IT Architect, IBM) has published his third article on developerWorks Architecture in a series on software architecture – this time on the process of software architecting.
The article also appears in the latest edition of The Rational Edge.
Enjoy!
The “Lotus Notes and Domino 7 Enterprise Upgrade Best Practices” redpaper has been published and provides “best practices for enterprise customers about how to approach the planning and deployment of their upgrade to Lotus Notes and Domino 7. It serves as a guide to planning and deploying a successful upgrade for administrators and IT architects and includes hints and tips to ensure a successful upgrade.“
IBM is hosting an online webcast on April 27 where the features of Rational Data Architect will be presented.
Rational Application Developer V7.0 and Rational Software Architect V7.0 will be released in the second half of 2006.

Update December 2006: Rational Application Developer V7.0 and Rational Software Architect V7.0 has been released.
Today I passed the IBM Lotus Notes Domino 7 Application Development Update exam (701) with a score of 92% and have thereby upgraded my certification to IBM Certified Advanced Application Developer – Lotus Notes and Domino 7.
I used the material presented earlier and also used the 701 certification test from Advanced CLP. I can highly recommend using a practice test as it gives you a good indication of how the actual test will be structured.
Good luck if you consider taking a certification test.
How to re-certify a Lotus Domino server:
As reported here Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 is now free.
The big question is: which free virtualizaton software for servers is the best: VMware Server or Microsoft Virtual Server?
Be sure to have a look at the “Java in Notes/Domino Explained” series by Mikkel Heisterberg. Great introdocution to using Java in the Domino environment.
Ted Stanton is back with another of his Sametime Sundays – this time on the “Can’t chat now, in a meeting” feature of the upcoming Sametime 7.5 release.
