Lotusphere 2007 - Day 301/24/2007 Lotusphere 2007
I've attended some great sessions so far. I had an opportunity to meet the Lotus Component Designer team in last night's Birds of Feather session. That's what I like about Lotusphere, where else would you have an opportunity to meet the development team? I've been on conference calls with most of these folks but to meet them in person is much different. Plus it's a very casual environment, more or less sharing their ideas with us and us with them. Really a great group of people too....
I attended AD108 - Best Practices for Creating Portlets with Portlet factory. I saw a glimpse of the next release of Portlet factory where they take advantage of web 2.0 and ajax technologies in some of their builders. Ruth Seltzer demoed some cool drag and drop capabilities she referred to as "Dojo" builders. She dragged a record from one portlet and dropped it into another. Very impressive...the customers will love this.
ID502 Introducing Websphere Portal 6 Express. Adam Ginsburg from IBM and Matt Smith CTO from E2 Consulting presented. This is a great entry point into Websphere Portal. IBM is bundling Portal 6 with Lotus Component Designer, Web Content Management, DB2 for the datastore, and Portlet Factory server license in this product release. This product will be available on 1/30. Also, IBM rolled many of the best features of the WSE product into Portal 6. So there are the additional collaboration features such as the Document Manager that integrates with windows desktop and Microsoft products, and Composite applications that can be created from user defined templates. This will be a big hit...
I've attended all the Lotus Component Designer sessions. I took the opportunity to visit the "meet the developers" room often. The folks there answered my questions and even put some code together to help us with some of our development with the LCD 6 tool. My team in New York kept sending me questions all week and I stopped by and had them all answered. You can't beat that!
I've learned alot more about what the LCD tool can do at the AD106 session presented by Philippe and Mark. It was very impressive and they made it interesting where Philippe pretended to be asking Mark for help developing a component. I really liked the way they built an interface to allow the end user to add dynamic fields to the portlet as well as define the type of field (text, list, etc..). It looks very powerful. They mentioned that the session will be available via podcast in a couple of weeks. I'll post that url when I receive it.
