A collection of FIVE presentations given at the recent ATLUG Day of Champions event. The Impact of Mobile on Human Perception explore the changes that mobile is driving on user expectations of software. Lotus Notes: Live Long and Prosper look at trends in technology to predict the future for Notes applications. Three short (4-minute) presentations then give ideas and best practices on a range of techniques that can be used to prepare Notes applications for that future.

102. Apple’s app store reached 1 million applications inOctober 2013

103. And the code….
5,000 lines per application x
10 million applications =
50 billion lines of code

104. Cost
200 applications x
$20,000 per application =
$4 million investment
10 million applications x
€20,000 per application =
€200 billion investment

105. Time
IBM XPages:
200 applications x
5 weeks per application = 20 years
i.e.Team of 4 developers 5 years

106. Time
Platform migration:
200 applications x
3 months per application = 50 years
i.e. Large team of consultants forever

107. SMAs
High barriers to exit

108. Implications

109. Notes applications are NOT going away!

110. Think 10+years

Terminar Función

130. Dim db as NotesDatabase
Set db = session.Getdatabase(“server”, “file”)
Database db = session.getDatabase(“server”, “file”);

134. ‘ScriptLibrary libs.atFormulas
Public Function atRightBack(stringToSearch As String, subString As String)
As String
End Function
Use “atFormulas”
//Java class libs.atFormulas
public static String rightBack(String stringToSearch, String subString ) {
}
import static libs.atFormulas;
