IBM - Introduction to IBM Lotus Domino 8.5 XPages

KURSZIEL
IBM - Introduction to IBM Lotus Domino 8.5 XPages: This is an intermediate course for experienced Lotus Domino application developers.

This course focuses on the fundamentals needed to begin building applications using XPages, such as creating a new XPage, creating a custom control, binding an XPage to a document, using alfa-Functions in an XPage, configuring server and client-side data validation, and troubleshooting issues when working with XPages.
The format of this workshop is hands-on training in a facilitated, self-paced format. This means that you will work through the hands-on exercises at your own pace. This is different from pure self-paced learning because a facilitator will work with you to assist you with any questions or problems that you may have, as well as validate your progress through the training to ensure that all critical learning objectives have been met.

By design, this training requires the learner to act as a technical troubleshooter. To get the most out of this training, expect to:

• Complete the many hands-on exercises that mimic the real world and therefore require decision making and perhaps even some trial and error.
• Encounter errors or other unexpected issues that further prepare you for your work with this product.
• Apply (and further develop) your research skills and familiarity with the product documentation and other important information resources.
