This past weekend, Linda (my significant other, her blog), handed me the Oct2005 issue of Lotus Advisor which has my favorite topic of late, AJAX, on the cover. Looks like AJAX has found its way into the powerful world of Lotus Domino/Notes which I have always liked since I got involved using Lotus Notes in the early 90s. In the late 90s, I lost interest in Notes/Domino development when IBM did not appear to have a web or Linux client in the works. I was side tracked with Delphi, Linux, Citrix, Java, and the web in general during this timeframe. Don't get me wrong, I continue to use Domino daily, however, just lost interest in development anything in it. After reading Oct2005 Lotus Advisor article "Developing Domino Web Applications The AJAX Way" by Richard Schwarz, the combination of AJAX and Domino has reinvigorated my interest in Domino development.
IBM released Domino7 and made a clear statement about the future Lotus Domino 8, IBM Workplace and their planned Linux/Eclipse integration. (InfoWorld article, PCWorld article) I found some great resources for Domino and AJAX. I just might get back into doing more Domino development with AJAX since it now appears that the future Domino 8 release code named Hannover will be the full integration of Domino and the java-based IBM Workplace. IBM even mentioned full browser and Linux client support. This would have really been nice in 1997. Better later than never.
