In this session, Philippe Riand and Jesse Gallagher will introduce the latest release of the Darwino application development platform. They will show how simple it is to add Darwino to an existing Domino environment and start extending your Domino apps to IBM Bluemix, IBM Connections and Mobile Devices without touching the existing apps.

1. AD-1481 - Don't give up on Domino!
Introducing Darwino: A New Lifeline for Domino Developers and Customers
Philippe Riand/Jesse Gallagher

2. About The Speakers
• Jesse Gallagher
 CTO of I Know Some Guys
 Board Member of OpenNTF
• Philippe Riand
 CTO of Trilog Group
 Former application development chief architect for IBM
Collaboration Services
 Chief architect, and inventor, of IBM Domino XPages

3. Agenda
• The Domino Applications Challenge
• Introduction to Darwino
• Darwino in Action

4. The Issue with Domino Applications
• Domino is a great platform running many business critical apps
 But users have new requirements (web, mobile, social…)
• The CIO challenge:
 Investment in the platform is decreasing, when not cancelled
 Skilled developers are rare and expensive
 Most of these applications were built years/decades ago,
targeting the Notes client, and are very hard to maintain
• “Automated Migration” is a lure that does not effectively fully
solve the problem

5. Towards the Ideal Solution
• Keep your existing infrastructure untouched and running, while
providing a true new user experience
 Mobile access with offline access
 Incrementally add new features, while keeping the existing ones
 Avoid any disruption to your users base
• Create a new application, based on state-of-the-art, non
proprietary technologies, leveraging the existing Domino apps
 Seamlessly leverage the existing data and business logic
• Optimize your infrastructure costs by moving to the cloud

6. Introduction to Darwino
• Full stack of components: back-end, runtime, studio…
 Supports all platforms: web, mobile native or hybrid applications, IOT
 Advanced hybrid and native architecture for the best mobile user
experience
• Provides high performance JSON document store
 Replicates between servers and devices, including third party DBs
• Advanced Domino connector with full fidelity, 2 way replication
• Encapsulate many services within comprehensive and portable
APIs (user profiles, communities, files…), with offline cache
• Focus on Java as the portable language for the business logic

7. Darwino for Domino
• A Lifeline for Domino customers and developers
 Make your existing applications match the current user expectations
 Leverage your existing infrastructure instead of replacing it
 Reuse existing assets and skills on top of ‘state of the art’
technologies
 Domino developers feel ‘at home’ right from the beginning
 Removes many existing Domino barriers (skills, performance,
scalability, capabilities…)
 Use the best technologies, based on your skills, needs and desires

9. WebGate’s Time Application
• Working with our partner WebGate on enhancing their current time
management application
 Need a true mobile experience for the employees on the go
• Typical Notes client only application
 Cannot currently replicate locally because of agents. Also requires
selective replication, and replication conflicts handling
 Lots of business logic, including workflow
 Data model evolved over time, leading to inconsistent data in
documents
 Highly customized and no path to upgrade to a more recent version

10. Demo
From To

11. Time Application Key Points
• True 2-Way replication from Domino to Darwino and Darwino to
the Mobile Device
• Simplification in the daily time reporting leads to more accurate
data, because the recording of effort is done when it happens
and not hours or days later!
• It consolidates 4 NSF Containers with different data to one
Darwino Application. This allows for:
 Realtime reporting (Darwino is incredibly fast!)
 New feature requests that are not limited by the Notes client
capabilities

12. We at WebGate love Darwino because
• It supports the #NewWayToDevelop
• It is feature rich but still lightweight and really straitforward
• It gives XPages or Domino Application not only an new Life, it
gives to this application a new VITALITY
• And Darwino is still 5 Years ahead of the time!
Christian Güedemann
CTO of WebGate

13. Darwino is Domino’s Best Friend
• Darwino provides a new vitality to your existing applications
 Mobile, cloud, social, data analytics…
• Darwino applications work seamlessly with your existing Domino
infrastructure instead of replacing it
• Darwino leverages your developer skills, while removing the
existing Domino limitations by providing a state-of-the-art
technology stack
• Darwino is your easiest path to the future
 New generation of applications, IOT…
