Podcast: Talking with the XPages “Masters”

Last week at the AdminDev2012 conference in Washington, DC Julian Robichaux and I were able to get a few minutes to talk with XPages “masters” Russ Maher (@russelmaher) and Paul Calhoun (@ptcalhoun). In our 21 minute interview we talked about:

  • What are people wanting to learn about XPages?
  • The XPages Bootcamps
  • How “hot” is XPages mobile dev?
  • XPages in the Notes Client (XPiNC)
  • Will knowledge of XPages development help you learn Websphere/J2EE?
  • XPages learning resources including XPages101 and TLCC
  • and much more…

Podcast: Mobile AppDev Strategies with Graham Acres

On this episode of Taking Notes Julian Robichaux and I talked with Graham Acres, of Brytek Systems, an IBM BP in Canada, about how to develop a strategy around mobilizing your applications in the enterprise.

Graham discussed mobile strategies in general as well as his own personal experiences, including:

  • Deciding which devices to support
  • Working with users and business units
  • Defining how the mobile app will work, and what it will look like
  • Problems with networks, firewalls, and device settings
  • Dealing with “bring your own device” policies
  • Choosing a toolkit
  • And more…

Graham gave a Lotusphere session on this topic, and his slides can be found at the Brytek Systems website. You can also follow him on Twitter at @gacres99.

This episode runs 36:48.
