“Notes and Domino Applications just don't break” Developer, LCTY Cincinatti

versionsAttract new developers to the platform
The Web Has Never looked betterAllow developers to build attractive, modern web apps
that leverage Web 2.0 technologies with less workProvide means to incrementally update existing
Domino Web applications
Domino 8.5 –Introducing XPages
What are XPages?– A new design element for Domino Designer– A runtime designed to generate modernWeb applications
Brings State-of-the-Art Web technology to Domino 8.5– Leverages Java Server Face based, proven Java runtime,
from Lotus Component Designer– XPages are designed for generating modern Web
applications• Built-in Web 2.0 features
Solves problems expressed by the Domino community– Known limitations are addressed
• UI/data separation, HTML generation control, server state, localization, extensibility, etc.
– Same modern rendering technology can target multiple clients
"XPage technology drastically reduces the time it takes us to develop Domino applications. We no longer need to spend time developing client side JavaScript/Ajax code since many of things we built in this manner are now core features of XPages. Additionally, the ability to more easily leverage standard techniques like CSS makes building a compelling user experience much easier."
Bruce Elgort - Eljugi software llc
"Equivalent transactions that were taking a full second (or more) to complete in a Java agent are now completing in 20 - 40 milliseconds. And we haven't even optimized it yet to use any explicit scope caching; that 50x performance boost is just from running it in a servlet context instead of in agents"
Tim Tripcony - Lotus 911
"We finished our target goal too quickly so we had time to add unplanned functionality"
TJ Witte - Salesplace.com
...People had a good feeling of what they saw. They appreciated that 'Cloud' widget, and the good look & feel already provided......Some were already asking when we could deliver the first eLite running with xPages.”
