2. 
introduction;

how we build our web applications;

split back-end and front-end areas;

front-end guys without knowledge about Domino, how
we did that;

git, jira, jenkins in daily work;

summary;

company future;

Q/A.

3. 
Tech Leader / Developer at e-conomic;

Certified IBM Domino Advanced Developer 8.5;

Certified IBM Domino Advanced Administrator 6.5;

Blogger;

Business/SEO mind developer.

4. What we keep in mind when develop web app
SEO friendly;

fast web-pages: 200-400 ms;

easy roll-out to production environment;

easy scalability;

using Git, Jenkins, JIRA


10. 
impossible to deal without skills in Domino;

@Formula language is must to know;

hidden formulas are not obvious;

fields properties (classes, styles, id etc);

11. - more skills required in Domino, Java, SSJS and xPages;
- controls might generate HTML automatically and it’s a
problem for our team as we aiming to have 100%
control;
- as it's even more complicated, potentially FE will ask to
involve BE developers each time they need to change
UI.

12. 



I'm really “pro” in: java/LS, JavaScript, HTML/CSS;
FE developers learned Domino platform in few weeks,
so we had no problems, they felt comfortable working in
IBM Designer;
FE developers simply send us snippets of code to BE
developers;
we are doing internal website and our internal
employee do not care about speed, modern UI etc, so
we do what we do;

14. GitHub and Jenkins

15. Jenkins and Domino

16. GitHub and JIRA

17. SUMMARY
- Some areas require improvements;
- all front-end developers do not use IBM Designer in their
daily job;
- back-end developers still use it when necessary;
- everything (source, images, files, templates etc) are stored
in GitHub;
- GitHub trigger Jenkins, Jenkins push changes to Domino
applications.

18. COMPANY’S FUTURE
Current trend is Amazon with CDN in front
License costs 0.
Open source, community support.
Flexibility of Amazon/Cloud
