- Only 9% are developing primarily for mobile/tablet
What’s your take on these results?

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.

- 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
