How to use UI standards to cut your Notes development time by 15% or more
Senior Technology Editor Richard Echeandia is back and better than ever. This month he shows you how a set of user interface standards can reduce your Notes development time and increase your productivity. But if all you think we're going to do is preach to you about standards, you're sadly mistaken. This is DominoPower, where we give you actual, useful tools each and every issue. This time, Richard provides a step-by-step set of instructions for building common form footers for all your Notes applications. Read this article and you may actually get to experience weekends again.
Notes direct serial communications to Palm devices
In each issue of DominoPower, we promise real meat. This issue is no exception. In this article by Mark Lawson, you'll learn how to control your PC's serial port directly from Notes (no intermediary files required). Further, Mark shows you how to set up a direct linkage between Notes and a Palm computer, bypassing conduits, the Palm Desktop, and HotSync. This is an article for real programmers and those who want to be just like them.
cc:Mail and Domino mail backbones
If you're using cc:Mail and Domino, or if you're planning to migrate away from cc:Mail to Domino, you should plan on spending a few minutes reading this important article by Technical Editor Ron Herardian. In it, Ron helps you understand what's involved in implementing mail backbones and how to make sure cc:Mail and Domino work smoothly together.
Even Superman has to go to school
Contributing Editor Dan Velasco wants to get the jump on everyone else. That's why, although Lotus' deadline for the R5 Update exam is October 31, Dan's studying for it now. And he's studying hard, with the help of a great training program from TLCC. If you want to learn more about Notes and Domino (and beat the exam clock), you should read Dan's article. Unless, of course, you want to let him keep his lead.
Is Distributed Content Management the Domino 'killer app'?
Notes and Domino are ideal tools for creating content and managing workflow. But how do you manage the content itself? Is it possible to turn over control of stories and articles to the writers themselves, without sacrificing site integrity and security? Bart Myers thinks so, and in this interesting and useful article, he tells you how you too can manage content successfully.
TeamStudio Librarian
Among our most popular articles are those from Senior Technical Editor Richard Echeandia. He has a tendency to get right to the meat of the matter and write about techniques that will save you serious development time. This article is no exception. In this helpful article, Richard reviews TeamStudio Librarian, a utility that lets you drag and drop design elements between Notes databases and Notes templates. If you're a developer that has to add a lot of standardized design elements to a large number of databases, this article could help you short-circuit a heck of a lot of very tedious work.
Using one template for three different uses
Have you ever wanted to create one template that can support multiple renditions of itself? For some applications, you may be maintaining a bunch of templates that are basically the same. If you make a design change to one, then all need to be updated! The design of these templates can quickly get out of sync. A better solution, given this scenario, would be to have one common template that adapted to your needs. This article by Chris Brown (a.k.a. GreenJellybean) explains how to do just that.

This month, Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz gets very specific about an HTML coding problem that could reach up and "byte" you on the…but you'll need to read this article to learn how to avoid making a very easy HTML mistake.
