This webinar is the second in our series of OpenNTF’s “Domino for Newbies” sessions.

In this “Domino Administration for Newbies” session we will cover the components that make up a Domino server, mail routing functions of Domino, how to monitor your servers, security fundamentals, handling of IDs, Domino replication and high availability, and how to perform critical server maintenance.

April Webinar: Domino for Newbies - Development

Jesse Gallagher | 1 month ago | Comments
The April webinar will be the first in a series of "Domino for Newbies", this one focusing on the basics of development. The intent is to provide useful tips for dev newcomers, whether they're administrators dipping their toes or new hires looking at an existing Domino codebase. This will cover classic design elements and the general structure of a Notes database.

This webinar will take place on April 17th from 11:00 AM (New York time) to 12:30 PM.

Pseudo-Webinar: Structure of the New OpenNTF Web Site

Jesse Gallagher | 2 months ago | Comments
For a while now, there's been a new OpenNTF web site in the works, but it's always been back-burnered in favor of normal work. Since several people have expressed interest in pitching in or at least seeing how it's shaping up, I (Jesse Gallagher) will be running a pseudo-webinar next week to go over the structure of the app:

Structure of the New OpenNTF Web Site
Thursday, March 27, 2025
11 AM US Eastern

Due to the nature of it, this will be very developer-fiddly, and will probably consist primarily of me clicking around in Designer. The site is being developed using the XPages Jakarta EE project, so expect to see a lot of Java for the business logic and thin JSP with CSS for the front-end.

Regardless, all are welcome, whether you have time to contribute or not. I expect it will be useful just to see how a JEE app like that is structured, and participating in the chat will be helpful for me to guide the main development of the site.
