Are you going to Lotusphere next week? If so, great! I'll be there. Look me up. Even in this economically-challenged environment, Lotusphere 2009 promises to be a good one.

There's a lot of interesting work coming out of IBM and Lotus these days, much of which I'm sure we'll see in Orlando. Last year and in 2007 I had a lot of sessions. So many, I was hardly able to get to any from anyone else, which is a bummer because there's a lot of great stuff to see and learn.

So, this year I told myself I do fewer sessions and spend more time learning than teaching. And, it's working. Kinda.

I started with three "real" sessions but then was nominated to take over a Birds-Of-A-Feather session on jQuery (a great open source JavaScript library) and now I'm doing a jQuery session during the SpeedGeeking session, too.

But I still have a lot more time during the days to learn.

If you're interested in attending any of my sessions, they are...

  • Sunday
  • 8:00 AM: AJAX and JSON JumpStart
  • 4:00 PM: JSON Show and Tell (with Henry Newberry)

  • Tuesday
  • 4:15 PM: A New Approach to Internationalizing Domino Applications
  • 6:00 PM: SpeedGeeking (mine's on jQuery)

  • Wednesday
  • 7:00 AM (ugh): Birds of a Feather: jQuery

I hope to see you in Orlando.

Almost forgot...GURUPALOOZA, noonish, Thursday. So, six, I guess. Come and see if I can continue my streak of zero answered GURUPALOOZA questions....

Thanks for rescuing our Birds-Of-a-Feather session! Our last-minute budget cuts axed our travel budget, and we couldn't make it out there this year.

Did the session end up going well? I hope many people had good experiences integrating jQuery with Notes. It is a topic that seems to be gaining a lot of popularity these days. We've been building more and more rich web apps lately and AJAX with jQuery is a big help.

"Rescue" might be overstretching it a bit. We had a group of a dozen or so but only two of us had ever used jQuery. Since there are no monitors or projectors (with either of those, it could have turned into a lesson), we instead had a conversation about the various JavaScript toolkits out there and how people were using them.

It turned out to be a pretty good discussion but I'm afraid it wasn't very much on topic.

Alas.

Scott

What I do for a living


I am the President of Teamwork Solutions a long-time Lotus, now IBM, Premier Partner.

With offices in Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio, we specialize in custom application development for IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, and related technologies. Our software product, ProcessIt! (see below), is quite possibly the world's best, most powerful and easiest-to-use workflow tool for Notes and the web.

Our clients are some of the world's largest corporations along with others that aren't so big.

We do excellent work, quickly, and often on a fixed-fee basis. We'd love to talk to you about your next project.



I am a Contributing Author to Lotus Advisor Magazine, with more than 40 articles under my belt.

I've written how-to series (serieses?) on LotusScript, JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and now, AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), as well as a bit on miscellaneous web development topics.

TheView.jpg

I also write for The View as of the July/August issue where I showed how to take an ugly Notes applications and make it beautiful with just a few minutes' (careful) work.


I am the chief architect and one of two primary developers for what many consider the best all-around workflow tool for Notes/Domino, anywhere, regardless of price.

It's called ProcessIt!, and you can read all about it at www.notesworkflow.com but the bottom line is this: ProcessIt! is fast and easy to learn, extremely powerful, and can be used by mortals. Even--dare I say it?--common users.

You can spend a lot more on a workflow tool but you won't be able to do a lot more for all the extra money.

Don't believe me? Download and try it for free for 60 days.

Copyright Porsche and NASA...not me!

I race a Porsche 944 S2 in National Auto Sport Assocation events and am the 2008 National Champion in NASA's GTS2 class.

Blame this event, a few years ago, for starting that particular money drain all over again.

In support of my habit, I am the NASA Great Lakes Region's GTS (German Touring Series) Director.

I'm also a Nationally-Certified Instructor for the Porsche Club of America and am in charge of classroom sessions for the Mid-Ohio region when we are doing high performance driving events.

In a prior racing life, I was the Midwestern Regional Formula Atlantic Champion and, in 1991, the Ohio Vally Region of SCCA's Regional Driver of the Year (but that, alas, went away when my credit cards let go of the rope!).



I'm writing a book...or at least trying to.

It's murder mystery in which, not too surprisingly, the main character runs a small software company and races cars for fun. Oh yeah, and lives near where I do.

Just where do they come up with these crazy ideas?
