MWLUG 2013 Wrap Up

MWLUG 2013 has come and gone. It was one of the best MWLUG conferences that we ever had. Josh Bleill and Scott Souder were great presenting at the OGS and if you missed Darren Duke's presentation, you missed one of the highlights of MWLUG 2013. The food was great and the Grand Hall where the OGS, exhibitor showcase, and food was served was unbelievable.

If you missed Catherine Emert's assorted cookies that she brought to MWLUG 2013 at the Prominic.NET booth, then you must wait another year to experience that. Some one whom know who you are, beat me to the chocolate ones.

The Indy Speedway Museum and Tour was fun. We had over two dozen participants .

Thank you to all the great speakers who donated their time and resources to speak at MWLUG 2013. It is you who make the MWLUG one of the best collaboration conference around.

Thank you to all the incredible MWLUG 2013 Sponsors who make the entire conference possible.

Special thanks to Ray Bylik for organizing the first annual MWLUG Brewfest Charity Competition on Wednesday. We raised over $500 for the Salvation Army Oklahoma Tornado Relief Fund. This event was sponsored by CDW. Thanks to Rupert Clayton, Keith Brooks, and William Smith for judging this competition. They definitely got their share of beer.

Everyone had a great time at the Rock Bottom Brewery and we all forgot to ask for a tour of the brewery. On well. We had about 100 attendees show up for this event.

We also raised over $800 for The Gleaners Food Bank in Indianapolis. Also, Mike McGarel did an exceptional job on the web site while Sam Bridegroom was outstanding in helping us in getting Josh Bliell and organizing parts of the conference. The other volunteers made the entire process run smoothly.

The Crowne Plaza Hotel - Union Station staff was great especially when things came up in the last minutes. Presentation slides and information will be posted soon. All attendees will be get a link to available presentation slides and also to speaker evaluations.

MWLUG 2014 will be held in Grand Rapids, Michigan in August 2014. Actual dates will depend on hotel availability. More information coming. So see everyone in Grand Rapids.

The iPhora Journey - Part 8 - Flow-based Programming

After my last post in this series -- way back in September 2022, several things happened that prevented any further installments. First came CollabSphere 2022 and then CollabSphere 2023, and organizing international conferences can easily consume all of one's spare time. Throughout this same time period, our product development efforts continued at full speed and are just now coming to fruition, which means it is finally time to continue our blog series. So let's get started... As developers, most of us create applications through the conscious act of programming, either procedural, as many of us old-timers grew up with, or object-oriented, which we grudgingly had to admit was better. This is true whether we are using Java, LotusScript, C++ or Rust on Domino. (By the way, does anyone remember Pascal? When I was in school, I remember being told it was the language of the future, but for some reason it didn't seem to survive past the MTV era). But in the last decade, there a...

Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets - Part II - Let's Assemble

Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets - Part I - Anatomy of a Widget Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets - Part II - Let's Assemble Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets - Part IIIA - Using Dojo To Bring It Together This is two part of my five part series "Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets". As I mentioned in part one of this series, Twitter Bootstrap widgets are built from a collection standard HTML elements, styled, and programmed to function as a single unit. The goal of this series is to teach you how to create a Bootstrap widget that utilizes the Bootstrap CSS and Dojo. The use of Dojo with Bootstrap is very limited with the exception of Kevin Armstrong who did an incredible job with his Dojo Bootstrap, http://dojobootstrap.com. Our example is a combo box that we are building to replace the standard Bootstrap combo box. In part one, we built a widget that looks like a combo box but did not have a drop down menu associated with it to allow the user to make a select...

The iPhora Journey - Part 3 - Creating an Integrated UI Framework

The iPhora Journey - Part 1 - Reimagining Domino The iPhora Journey - Part 2 - Domino, the Little Engine that Could The iPhora Journey - Part 3 - Creating an Integrated UI Framework There are many ways to create the user interface (UI) for a web application. The HTML page could be created on the server and then pushed out. It could be static with the data generated on the page by the server with JavaScript, providing a more dynamic experience, or the server could generate new HTML content to update portions of the web page. XPages or PHP are good examples of this. Another method is to have the web page partially generated by the server and have JavaScript build the rest of the HTML by pulling data from the server via an API. This is the approach used in the Single Page Application (SPA) model. In all cases, it is still dependent on the web server technology being using. As mentioned previously in this blog, XPages is dependent on complete integration between form and document, whi...
