Based on his recent
blog entry about learning XPages,
we brought Mark
Myers on the show to discuss
his approach to wrapping your head around XPages, especially coming at
it as a person with a strong Java background. Matt
White was also on the podcast
to offer the perspective of someone who has been helping people learn XPages
for several years now. We discussed things like:
- NOT thinking of XPages as "another
Notes design element"
- Coming to XPages from the Java developer
perspective
- The amount of learning resources and
help available now versus a few years ago
- Using Java and server-side JavaScript
(SSJS)
- Some of the struggles that newbies might
face
- And more...
Mark
and Matt are both members of the London
Developer Co-op, and they
have graciously renewed the TakingNotes discount code for XPages101 online
training courses. If you go to the XPages101.net
website and sign up using
the discount code "taking notes", you will receive a 33% discount
off the list price of your subscription.
