In today’s world, everybody is talking about the Cloud. If people talk about Cloud, they are talking in the most case about the location where data are processed and stored. In the mean time, while the “common” people are adopting the concept of Cloud Computing, Fog Computing or Edge Computing is the new upcoming term.

CRUD, NoSQL, Domino and Workflow 

By Paul Withers | 6/23/17 1:55 AM | App Dev - XPages | Added by John Oldenburger

For many months now – dating back to the middle of last year when Domino app dev was in limbo – I’ve been wrestling with what seems to me to be an elephant in the room with regard to Domino, NoSQL and REST. At the time many were looking at alternatives to part or all of the Domino stack.

Getting email addresses from the Notes address book 

By David Navarre | 6/22/17 2:07 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

As we work to get our Notes applications functioning smoothly with our Outlook mail, I’m finding ways to keep the close binding between Notes applications and the user’s mail. It’s so much easier to click a button to generate an email associated to a particular Notes document than to copy-paste a document link.

By Paul Withers | 6/20/17 2:39 AM | App Dev - XPages | Added by John Oldenburger

This final part has taken a while, because of problems that will become apparent during the blog post! But I’ve finally overcome them, in a (hopefully) future-proofed manner, which I’ll also go into. Another one of Stephan Wissel’s projects on GitHub is the Swagger Domino Code Generator.

Just got that question today at DNUG. There is an issue with the Notes Client with the current Windows 10 Update - aka Creators Update (Build 1703). According to the responsible person who is at DNUG today, this happens because of changed Windows graphics APIs. IBM is working on a fix which will be available in FP9.

In this episode, OpenNTF Board Member and long time IBM Champion, Paul Withers returns with a great show on how to get starting building REST Servlets inside an EXTERNAL Library. This is a longer show as getting started with Libraries is a little involved but believe me it’s so worth it.
