A new tutorial has been published on developerWorks on building a community website using Domino and Open Laszlo. The tutorial is part 1 of 3 and focuses on the basic things necessary to create a web application in Domino – including creating an application from scratch with user authentication. In the upcoming part 2 of the tutorial Open Laszlo will be used.

John Coolidge has put together a custom google search for Notes and Domino consisting of 125 “major Domino Tip, Code and Blog sites”. Very useful.

I have previously written about the Dynamic Mobile Exchange (DME) and Funambol push mail solutions – and now IBM has announced that a push mail solution called IBM Lotus Notes Traveler will be part of the Domino server in the 8.01 release. This is very exciting news!
It looks like the push mail solution will be based on the Visto Mobile solution from Visto but Lotus Notes Traveler will only support Windows Mobile devices at first, in contrast to Visto Mobile that also supports Symbian, Palm OS, J2ME, WAP, HTML, and Imode – with support for the iPhone coming in Q3 2007.
Update: after re-reading the announcement and related material I need to correct myself. Lotus Notes Traveler will consist of a Domino server task meaning that a server in-between the mobile devices and the Domino server is not necessary (in contrast to e.g. the DME and Funambol solutions). Furthermore, Lotus Notes Traveler will consist of a new client that runs on Windows Mobile devices – and this client is not based on the Visto Mobile solution from Visto.
Release 1.0 of the PHP Development Tools framework for the Eclipse platform has been released.
