"We finished our target goal too quickly so
we had time to add unplanned functionality"
TJ Witte - Salesplace.com "Equivalent transactions that were taking a full
second (or more) to complete in a Java agent are
now completing in 20 - 40 milliseconds. And we
haven't even optimized it yet to use any explicit
scope caching; that 50x performance boost is just
from running it in a servlet context instead of in
agents"
"XPage technology drastically reduces the time it
takes us to develop Domino applications. We no Tim Tripcony - Lotus 911
longer need to spend time developing client side
JavaScript/Ajax code since many of things we built in
this manner are now core features of XPages.
Additionally, the ability to more easily leverage
standard techniques like CSS makes building a
compelling user experience much easier." ...People had a good feeling of what they saw. They
appreciated that 'Cloud' widget, and the good look &
Bruce Elgort - Eljugi software llc feel already provided...
...Some were already asking when we could deliver
the first eLite running with xPages.”
