You should definetely take a look on my friend Jonas Israelsson’s blog and his article about Flash-based UIs for your Domino-based solutions published on Developerworks last week.

review: The Best Software Writing I
Filed in English, Uncategorized, July 10, 2006, 10:47 pm by Joachim DagerotThe Best Software Writing I

Author: Joel Spolsky
Year: 2005
ISBN: 1590595009
I didn’t do much research before I bought this book. I just fell for the author’s famous name and the name of the book. To be honest I thought it had something to do about how to write better computer code.
And I was right! The book has a numerous authors and some of the articles are about good coding manners, others are about project leadership, ROI. There’s even a small cartoon strip. Not a single one of the articles are boring or numb. I like them all.
I understand Mr Spolsky’s picked out those articles to show examples on good english writing to show that an article covering such a boring thing as SOA architecture patterns musn’t be dead boring for example.
The best part besides that these authors makes great article is probably that I read things I probably would have jumped over if I saw them in a paper or on the web.
Five out of five!

Adding social bookmarking tags to Lotus Quickplace
Filed in Uncategorized, July 6, 2006, 2:25 pm by Joachim DagerotOne reason for not using tags on an intranet is that only the author are likely to tag their article, as opposite to the social tagging systems on the public internet where actually everyone is supposed to tag everything (that’s of there interest). If we can get an habit to have intranet users to tag [...]
