I know that with Domino 8.x a lot of you are jumping on the xpages and dojo bandwagon but you should check out Ext and the work Rich and I are doing with Ext.nd. This week Ext will be unveiling Ext 3 and I'll try and blog about the new features being introduced with this version over the next week or so. Oh, and for our Ext.nd fans, I'll do the same as well so you'll know what's new in Ext.nd Beta 2. In the meantime, poke around our demo on the openNTF.org site.]]>http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/04142009072840AMJRAH5D.htmJack Ratcliffhttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/04142009072840AMJRAH5D.htm?opendocument&commentshttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/04142009072840AMJRAH5D.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dxcomments/04142009072840AMJRAH5D.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/04142009072840AMJRAH5D.htm?opendocument&comments Thu, 27 Nov 2008 05:59:51 -0500Lance Spellman and I are co-presenting a session at Lotusphere titled: Battle of the IBM Lotus Domino Javascript Toolkits. In this session Lance and I will go through the steps of converting a Notes application into a Rich Internet Application. Lance will use Dojomino, a customized version of Dojo for Domino and I'll be using Ext.nd, a customized version of Ext for Domino (check out our demo to see it in action). So here's where I need your help. What would you like for us to cover? Our presentation is due next Friday with a first draft due this coming Monday so needless to say these next few days and this next week we'll be busy getting things together. So here's your chance. Let us know what you want to see and what you would like to see compared between Dojomino and Ext.nd. Speak now or forever hold your peace! :)]]>http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/11272008115234AMJRAG3Z.htmJack Ratcliffhttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/11272008115234AMJRAG3Z.htm?opendocument&commentshttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/11272008115234AMJRAG3Z.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dxcomments/11272008115234AMJRAG3Z.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/11272008115234AMJRAG3Z.htm?opendocument&comments Tue, 14 Oct 2008 07:31:40 -0500THE VIEW article that was recently published.

The first is an intro to Ext.nd and would be similar to the session Rich and I did at LS08. The second idea is one that Lance and I have discussed and that would be to take an existing Notes app and web enable it using Dojomino and then again with Ext.nd. In this one session attendees would see how to web enable a Domino application using two of the more popular JavaScript Frameworks: Dojo and Ext JS. So far, looks like more people are interested in the combined Dojo+Ext JS session than they are on an intro to Ext.nd. Maybe an "advanced Ext.nd" session would be of more interest? In any case, go vote and give your comments!]]>http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/09122008082305AMJRAHQ8.htmJack Ratcliffhttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/09122008082305AMJRAHQ8.htm?opendocument&commentshttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/09122008082305AMJRAHQ8.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dxcomments/09122008082305AMJRAHQ8.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/09122008082305AMJRAHQ8.htm?opendocument&comments Sat, 6 Sep 2008 12:36:14 -0500Rich Waters and I did a presentation on Ext.nd. Basically, it was about how to quickly get started in using it but didn't get into any advance topics. Last year we also submitted abstracts on covering advanced Ext.nd topics and even an abstract on doing a hands-on session but they weren't picked. We would like to present again at LS 09 but before we submit any abstracts we want to ask you what you would like for us to present on?]]>http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/09062008123612PMJRANN8.htmJack Ratcliffhttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/09062008123612PMJRANN8.htm?opendocument&commentshttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/09062008123612PMJRANN8.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dxcomments/09062008123612PMJRANN8.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/09062008123612PMJRANN8.htm?opendocument&comments Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:21:27 -0500Ext.nd which includes support for categorized views and several bug fixes (see the demo app on OpenNTF to see the categorized views in action). I know we have been a bit slow in releasing this release and for the most part, it was ready to be released in June. We have each been extremely busy this summer with work and family issues. We hope you understand and forgive us. But now, the wait is almost over. We'll be releasing the next beta very soon (planned for this week). But I'm curious, how many of you are using Ext.nd and find it useful for your Domino Web development? What kind of enhancements would you like to see? Rich and I have already started the next beta with some new features that I think are simply amazing but tell us, what would you like to see us do? Would you like more work done on the JavaScript API to access the Domino objects? Or do you want us to give you more control of building your own custom UIs instead of using the locked in UI of the DominoUI class? Or would more example apps help? So, let us know if you're using Ext.nd and what you like/dislike and want to see added to the framework. If you're not using Ext.nd let us know that as well so that everyone who stumbles to this blog post can hear of the other options available to Domino Web developers. We know that IBM has worked hard on including support for dojo in 8.x and then there is dojomino that Lance has headed up. Is there any other Domino focused frameworks in the works?]]>http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/08252008102120AMJRAKZX.htmJack Ratcliffhttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/08252008102120AMJRAKZX.htm?opendocument&commentshttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/08252008102120AMJRAKZX.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dxcomments/08252008102120AMJRAKZX.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/08252008102120AMJRAKZX.htm?opendocument&comments Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:49:35 -0500Tommy Valand blogged on this same issue just last week. Unfortunately, we can't use his solution since we aren't processing any documents when we need to get the web file path of a database. Luckily for us in our need for accessing the FilePath method is that we already know the relative path. So, for now, we'll just not use the FilePath property and hope to one day see a WebFilePath property.]]>http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/08242008104929PMJRA6HK.htmJack Ratcliffhttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/08242008104929PMJRA6HK.htm?opendocument&commentshttp://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/08242008104929PMJRA6HK.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dxcomments/08242008104929PMJRA6HK.htm http://jackratcliff.com/jratcliff/blog.nsf/dx/08242008104929PMJRA6HK.htm?opendocument&comments Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:56:00 -0500here if you want.
