Building IBM Lotus Domino Applications with Ajax Plugins (HND201)
I had hoped to get a little more insight (and also my hands on) the Domino Facelift code in that hands-on-session. My expectations were high after a really good session yesterday. Unfortunately Lance and Dwight were fighting with the infrastructure as were the participants. I must admit that I left 15 minutes early but until then I had not seen much more than in the presentation the day before. I did get the chance to look into the code a little (and there's lot of it). It looked well-written but does not include many comments. I am still looking very much forward to trying the DFL database out, since the idea is great and for alpha code (as Dwight indicated repeatedly) it works pretty well. I am sure the two guys will prepare the infrastructure better for the repeat session on Thursday. I would recommend though to pre-install the needed databases, the Firefox browser and the extensions needed (Venkman JavaScript debugger, Developer Tools, and the Fiddler HTTP debugging proxy and only to demo the installation process to the users. Too much can happen when 30 people simultaneously start downloading and installing stuff. As we have seen the trouble which can arise doing that can cost precious time.
