List of IBM IT architects on Twitter

Posted on by

I have created a Twitter list of IBM IT architects. If you are interested in following IBM IT architects on Twitter then follow this list. If you are an IBM IT architect and not on the list, then let me know on Twitter.

Remember that when you follow a list, you do not follow every user on the list. So tweets from the users on the list will not show up in your main Twitter stream. You will have to visist the list to see the tweets. This makes lists a very useful way of keeping up with a group of people when you find it convenient.

New Redbook: Building Domino Web Applications using Domino 8.5.1

Posted on by

As stated on the XPages Blog, a new Redbook has been published on the Lotus Notes and Domino Application Development wiki on building Domino web applications using Domino Designer 8.5.1: Building Domino Web Applications using Domino 8.5.1.

The objective of the Redbook is to “provide guidance on Best Practices for Domino Web Development, with emphasis on the new XPages design element. We introduce the key new features of XPages and discuss how and why these are meaningful within the context of Domino Web Development.“

The Redbook serves as a great tutorial on how to use the latest Domino Designer 8.5.1 features. You can read the Redbook directly on the wiki or download it as a PDF. Enjoy.

Getting a book to Lotusphere 2010

Posted on by

Recently Chris Toohey held a contest/giveaway where the price was his review copy of the “Lotus Notes Domino 8: Upgrader’s Guide: What’s new in the latest Lotus Notes Domino Platform” book – courtesy of Packt Publishing. I have also received a review copy of the same book – and I admit: I never got to write my review of the book (but read the book with great interest). So I offered Chris my review copy as well so that his contest/giveaway could have two winners. The lucky winners are Chuckalicious and John James. Chris has already sent his review copy to Chuckalicious and I am going to send my review copy to John James.

Since I live in Denmark and John James lives in Canada the cost of sending the book equals the price of buying the eBook itself – so I thought that I would find alternative ways of sending the book to John James.

So, what better way to get the book to John James than by the help of the community? So the book will be transported to Lotusphere and then onwards to John James by the help of Bo Falkenberg and Marie Scott. I will give my review copy of the book to Bo who will bring it from Denmark to Orlando, Florida for the Lotusphere 2010 conference where Marie Scott will take over and bring the book home from Lotusphere in order to finally deliver it to John James!

Enjoy the book, John! 🙂

Update January 28: John has received my review copy thanks to Bo Falkenberg and Marie Scott.
