In 2003, I left my job and started looking for a better one. I wasn't quite happy working for a corporation and I wasn't the employee of the month either. However, after a series of coincidences, I end up with a brand new laptop waiting for a long bus ride to a resort near the Mediterranean Sea.

After a great conference, I have just been able to prepare session materials. Sorry for the delay but I had to complete the documentation for the demo application I have used in the REST session.

Normally we do not link to just a repository. As it came that overall awesome Serdar Basegmez made a small XPages based app that can be used to integrate your own services (also XPages based) to Slack. As he wrote in the readme file: fork and contribute!

This class is a temporary encapsulation for a code that needs a Session. I have inspired from a number of snippets, but probably, Nathan T. Freeman is the founder of the idea itself :) Although I've been using this for a couple of months in a production system, still, it's quite out of the mainstream and it contains some bad practices.

6 months ago, I accepted my problem. As many developers, I was working on several different XPages projects in different times. Using a couple of Java classes over and over again. Each time I add a new method/modify an existing one, I was copying and pasting code between several applications. Versioning was a nightmare.

Lately, I have been working on developing my own extension library for different applications on a client. I started with putting a couple of Java libraries, utility objects and managed beans, but it evolved into a very cool project. I want to talk about it, but not now. Today, we will talk about a boring topic, Dojo.
