Great XPage Wiki

David Leedy, Jul 17, 2009 5:30:31 PM

Of course the golden standard of Wikis regarding Notes and Domino Development is the Domino Designer Wiki by IBM. On checking this today I see 92 entries related to XPages.  A lot of good stuff in there.

However, as good as that is, there is a Wiki that I like better and spend more time digging through.  

YouAtNotes XPages Wiki

The Home page says that this isn't meant to be a competitor to the Official Wiki, it's an extension.  This is a collection of code snippets and tips that Julian Buss keeps for his personal use and makes available to the community.  According to the home page, other people are allowed to contribute and comment as long as they play nice.

What I love about this wiki is that these are bite size snippets related to XPages.  You don't have to reverse engineer a full application just to try to get to the piece your looking for.

This site is what really got me feeling comfortable with using Server Side JavaScript to access the backend objects and start actually doing things. I think it's a great resource and suggest anyone getting into XPages development should check it out.

The information on his wiki is more in the form of code snippets and not full wiki articles. It sure would be nice to get the information of on the designer wiki, or maybe even a wiki article that links to Julian's site. Ideally more fleshed out examples should be made that uses some of the tips on Julian's wiki and then published to the Designer Wiki.

I think lots of developers store their favorite code snippets somewhere. I've got a little wiki for my personal use. The great think about Julian's website is that he makes his available.

Just curious why they didn't just put the information into the Domino Wiki.

thanks for the warm words :-) I'm glad the stuff is useful to someone!
