With XPages, developers can build Domino applications that truly compete with modern Web 2.0 applications — without having to resort to approaches that don’t scale and which are difficult to maintain. Gain a working knowledge of XPages as you follow the steps to build an application that processes RSS and ATOM feeds.

The XPages feature of IBM Lotus Domino Designer represents an entirely new approach to Domino development. For long-time Domino developers, the learning curve may seem daunting. You might even think that it’s easier or faster to stick with what you already know. But based on our own experience, we can assure you that if you take the plunge and start doing real work in XPages, it will pay dividends quickly. Some of our own developers have seen dramatic improvements in the time it takes to deliver customer solutions (a 60% reduction in many cases)!
Join us as we guide you through a project that results in a fully capable application, an RSS feed reader. You’ll pick up key techniques and concepts for working with XPages — creating custom controls, working with Dojo, using JavaScript libraries and server-side JavaScript code, structuring pages, and more.
