INTRODUCTION
Presentations and Hands-on Lab Exercises for a 1 day Exploration of Technology (EoT). The days focus is on Lotus Domino application development
enhancements in version 8.5.x and the upgrade strategies to quickly web enable and move your existing Lotus Notes applications to the web.

OBJECTIVE
The Domino Application Development Workshop is intended to provide you with an in-depth examination of the new capabilities of Notes and Domino
application development in 8.5.x. For existing customers, this exploration will help you assess the additional value and potential impact to their existing
Notes application environment. For new customers, this exploration will not only give you a hands-on experience with a product new to them but it will
also reinforce our advantages over the competition, such as the power of applications development. At the conclusion of the Exploration of Technology,
you will leave with an understanding of the business opportunities this new version can help solve for your existing Notes applications.

AUDIENCE
This Workshop is targeted for IT Managers, System Administrators, Developers and Architects evaluating the IBM Lotus Notes / Domino 8.5.x
development capabilities. The only requirement is that participants have an understanding of their business needs and current IT technologies.

Come out on Thursday, May 19, 2011 for the quarterly Atlanta Lotus User Group (ATLUG) Meeting.

www.atlug.com

Agenda:
Tim Tripcony will present XPages - Taking Themes to the Next Level. Tim recently presented this at BLUG (Brussels Belgium) and is scheduled to present at UKLUG (Manchester England). This is a perfect follow on to the recent TLCC - XPages Learning Event.
RSVP to rdavison@matrixres.com if you plan to attend.

Most XPage developers who have already started working with themes understand they offer a simple way to ensure inclusion of stylesheets and client-side JavaScript libraries, as well as automatic addition of style classes to components that match certain criteria. But themes are so much more powerful than that. This session will teach you how to leverage the full potential of themes to keep your XPage source code lean and tidy, enhance the performance of your applications, maintain device-targeted user interfaces, and even streamline resource management within large development teams. This session might just change the way you think about the very nature of XPages.

When:
Thursday, May 19, 2011
Where:
IBM Hillside building
4111 Northside Parkway, Atlanta, Ga. 30327
