Notes free for use at home 
Mon, Aug 16th 2010 6:25a Mario Gutsche Hi,
this time not a tutorial, but a little info that could make Notes more known by the private mail users:
If you want to use Notes at home, to access you mail accounts by POP3, you can simply download the free Domino Designer Client , deactivate the development features during installation and configure POP3. You end up with a completely legal Notes Client, you only need a Domino Access License, if you want to connect to a domino server.
Downside: The Designer is ~600MB in size, so a shrunk do [read] Keywords: domino

Writing a simple Sidebar plugin 
Fri, Apr 2nd 2010 8:46a Mario Gutsche This is the last Part of my series about setting up a notes development environment. We will write a simple plugin that well print Hello World in your Sidebar.
Basics
To creat a new Sidebar plugin you need to extend 2 existing Extension Points – Extension Points are like doors, that are left open by other developers, so you can extend their “building” with new features.
Plugin Architecture
The first Extension Point is org.eclipse.ui.view, this is the standard point, if you want [read] Keywords: expeditor

Installation of the Expeditor-Toolkit 
Thu, Apr 1st 2010 5:54p Mario Gutsche This is Part 6 of my series about setting up a notes development environment. We will install the Expeditor Toolkit as plugin for eclipse, so it’s a litle bit more comfortable to develop plugins. Originally it was developed to create Lotus Expeditor applications/plugins, but because Notes is based on Expeditor ( The pimped IBM-Version of the Eclipse RCP ), you can use it to support your Notes plugin development.
The Toolkit can be downloaded from IBM, after registering a user-account for f [read] Keywords: expeditor

Installation of Eclipse 3.4.2 for Notes Plugins 
Thu, Apr 1st 2010 5:20p Mario Gutsche This is Part 5 of my series about setting up a notes development environment. We will install Eclipse 3.4.2 to be used as development environment for Notes Plugins.
You need to download Eclipse 3.4.2 (Ganymede). IBM recommends “Eclipse for RCP/Plug-In Developers“, so download this version and extract the archive. An installation isn’t necessary, just double-klick the eclipse.exe.
After the start you will be prompted to select a “Workspace”. A Workspace is the locati [read] Keywords: expeditor

The installation of Lotus Notes, Domino Designer Administrator 
Thu, Apr 1st 2010 4:26p Mario Gutsche This is Part 4 of my series about setting up a notes development environment.
At first you need to install “notes_designer_admin_851_w32_CZ5S0EN.exe“, please activate the installation of the “Remote Server Setup” – its a sub-entry under Domino Administrator and unchecked by default.
Don’t start Notes right after installation, first you need to configure Domino using the remote setup, as described in Part 2. When Domino is configured you need to start the Domin [read] Keywords: admin

Setting up Ubuntu for Domino 
Tue, Mar 30th 2010 3:40p Mario Gutsche This is Part 1 of my series about setting up a notes development environment. Don’t be iritated if some menu-points in this tutorial are litle different from the real text – I’m translating the german texts.
As OS for for Domino I’ve chosen Ubuntu 8.0.4 because it’s stable, supported until 2013 and easy to install. I recommend to install it into a virtual machine because it doesn’t need a lot of ram and a special version called JeOS exists, that is made for VM [read] Keywords: domino

Inkscape, the Golden Ratio and the Rule of Thirds 
Mon, Mar 29th 2010 3:39p Mario Gutsche How long do you try, to get that special, balanced design?
You don’t need to study arts to be able to give you banners, forms,… a professional look.
All you need is the great open source software Inkscape, preferably the latest version (>=0.47).
If you have version 0.46 and you don’t want to update, you can use this plugin. From version 0.47 on, it is integrated in the standard Inkscape downlad.

Choosing a fluid CSS Framework for XPages 
Mon, Mar 29th 2010 11:20a Mario Gutsche Today i was looking for a fluid CSS Framework to give my XPages a basic layout, that would adjust if the user closes/opens his Sidebar – byebye to white borders.
Blueprint and 960.gs aren’t fluid and the Yahoo UI Grid has ugly css class names and a maximum of 4 columns but 4 columns doesn’t fit for applying the golden ratio, so the big boys are out of the game, what’s left are some privat

Setting up a full-stack Lotus Notes 8.5.1 development environment 
Sun, Mar 28th 2010 12:48p Mario Gutsche Hi,
this is the start of a multi-part series about setting up everything you need, to get started developing Lotus Notes applications and plugins.
I hope this will be the end of the negative attitude towards notes plugin development. If IBM doesn’t produce easy instructions – or at least up-to-date information, i will .
What will you have at the end of this course ?
