When the cat's away, apparently the mice write nice technical articles

I've just returned from my annual post-Lotusphere family visit to Naples, Florida - with a stop in Ft Lauderdale to visit Dan Singleton of Assurant. Dan's a wonderful guy who has been in our industry a very long time, and he showed Liz and I a wonderful time at dinner Tuesday night, along with another couple from Norway.
So what happens when I'm gone? Well nobody cleaned my desk and we'll have a chat about that later, but Viktor did manage to write a series of short articles on viktr.com about the sessions we SNAPPS guys delivered at Lotusphere. Before Lotusphere, we kept pretty quiet about BP212 - The Great Code Giveaway - so much so that even the track manager didn't know the real content of our session. People tend to assume our session has something to do with Quickr (wonder why?) but it couldn't be further from the truth - this session for seven years has been 100% Domino and integration goodness. Viktor and I delivered this one twice, both to packed rooms, totalling something like 1000 attendees. It was once again a great time and fun to show off the 400-500 hours we put into Lotusphere each year. People (especially other Business Partners) think we're crazy for doing that, but with our value-based practice we can do it as long as customers partake of our services from February through November! Hint, hint, customers, that's tomorrow...
So in case you weren't in our session or not in Orlando...Viktor and I demonstrated several innovations with Dojo and Domino integration, and integration between Domino web applications and Lotus Connections. Among the highlights:
Demo #1: Simple Dojo integration into form controls
Demo #2: Multi-database applications using a common front end through Dojo HTML retrieval
Demo #3-11: The Big Deal: Viktor has created a Domino view grid control and view store, to replace Domino's own view rendering in many situations, with just a few lines of code in many cases
This final bit was 50% of the demo time, with 9 progressive demos including a simple grid, design options, multi-row column headers (read that again real slow and think about it...!), multiple view grids on a page, and various selection functions. In the final demo, Viktor showed a multiple-grid page with click functions that controlled a second grid, and integrated with the public Greenhouse Connections server for rich Profiles data. And it all worked flawlessly on PCs and Macs.
He's been writing up methods and tips on viktr.com in my absence - so I suggest you go there for a good technical deep dive into The Great Code Giveaway! If we're lucky, we'll see you next year, that is if those customers keep us busy starting tomorrow...
