Client project: XPages CMS and web shop with card payment

Posted on by

A project for one of my clients went live last week. It’s a portal on heart failures and defibilator products with a related web shop where you can buy automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and accessories. The portal is in Danish.

My company PHL Consult was responsible for the implementation of the portal while Supermouse design studio was responsible for the design.

The portal is built entirely on Lotus Domino XPages and features a content management system (CMS) and a web shop.

The CMS is controlled from the Lotus Notes client.

The web shop is integrated with the client’s existing backend product catalog, CRM and ordering system which runs as standard Lotus Notes client only applications on an internal Lotus Domino server. Furthermore, the web shop is integrated with a payment card gateway from the Danish provider DIBS. The use of a payment card gateway effectively shields off the PCI requirements on e.g. encryption of card numbers from the shop and the client.

I am now an IBM Certified Application Developer – Lotus Notes and Domino 8.0

Posted on by

I passed the IBM Lotus Notes Domino 8 Application Development Update exam (LOT-801) today and have thereby upgraded my certification to IBM Certified Application Developer – Lotus Notes and Domino 8.

I primarily used the Lotus Notes/Domino 8.0 release notes and the Notes/Domino Designer 8.0 Help and also the LOT-801 practice test from CertFX. The 801 test has a lot of focus on Domino on DB2, Composite Applications, and Web Services. I can – once again – 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.

I can now look forward to the LOT-951 test to achive the 8.5 certification – and then later the necessary test to achieve the Advanced 8.5 certification.
