10 Pitfalls To Avoid When Designing A LogoDesignMantic
Logo Design is an art. It involves understanding the target audience (business) and translating business vision into an effective corporate identity. However, the path to logo design is littered with traps invisible. The designer should avoid some common pitfalls that might limit the longevity and legibility of a design.
A look at how advertisers use the concepts of logos, ethos, and pathos to persuade audiences. Includes definitions and examples. Videos can be found on YouTube. Ideas can be adapted to debates and persuasion lessons in general.
The difference between vector and raster graphics is that raster graphics are composed of pixels, while vector graphics are composed of paths. A raster graphic, such as a gif or jpeg, is an array of pixels of various colors, which together form an image.

What is Office UI Fabric?
Office UI Fabric is the official front-end framework that Microsoft has created to have the same visual experience among clients as office and the various Office 365 services.
In This session we will see how the Office UI Fabric is composed, both from the point of view of basic graphic styles to the various controls that have been implemented, we will see how to use it in the various implementations offered and how to build extensions or applications that they use this framework to have the same UI as the Office 365 services and how to utilize it with the major front-end frameworks available.
A design talk geared towards designers who are new to the world of web design. I’ll cover items such as: how web design is unique from other kinds of design (such as print), how to leverage research and analytics to create data informed designs, steps to become a proficient web designer and how to choose and work with developers. If there are folks in the room using Illustrator or PSD, I'll show you how to set up Illustrator files for web design and prep files for a developer.
Icon fonts are becoming an increasingly popular way to delivery iconography for websites. They reduce HTTP requests, provide a resolution-independent way to scale icons, and are often smaller than sprites. In this session we'll explore what icon fonts are, the pros and cons of using them, best practices for creating them, and deployment options for mobile devices.

Many organizations are now investing in the development of web interfaces for their existing (and new) Notes/Domino applications. Now is the perfect time to start paying down on the technical debt we have accumulated to ensure that we don’t pass on an unsustainable software development deficit to those that will follow. With this presentation we will challenge the notion that trickle down development based on XPages is the next logical step in that evolution. While XPages still has a place in the world of modern Domino development we will explore new approaches and alternative technologies that have the potential to deliver a brighter prosperous.
An overview of the asymmetric modernization process designed to deliver a cost effective solution for modernization large portfolios of applications such as those found for Notes/Domino.
A look at the math behind modernization strategies for Lotus Notes applications. See the very real difference an asymmetric approach to modernization can make to the bottom line.
It is not uncommon for Notes client developers to feel intimidated by the wide range of technologies available when modernizing an existing portfolio of applications with XPages. In this 2-hour workshop we will provide a series of 20-minute introductions to many of these new and emerging technologies. Learn about Java, Beans, REST Services, Bootstrap, Mobile Controls, data visualization and a whole lot more.
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.
90% of all Notes applications start life via File… Database… New Copy. After that most organizations lose track of the common code shared across the 100s or 1,000s of applications it has deployed. Eventually we even lose track of what applications are being used and which ones aren’t. In this session we take a close look at a range of options for managing our Notes applications and their components.
Nothing lasts forever, including Notes client applications. In this session we look at a range of best practices that modernize our Notes applications as well as prepare them for might come next. Whether it’s the next version of Notes, XPages, or something else, it is important to ensure our applications are better placed to be added to an application store than become a museum exhibit.
As Notes turns 25 we look at the future for this Rapid Application Development Platform. Notes has been pronounced dead by many over the years and yet it still lives on. In this session we look at other technologies that have lived on or suddenly died out to find clues on what the future may hold for Notes.
Over the past 25 years Notes/Domino has been the most successful application development platform for small-medium-sized applications. 50,000 organizations are using 10 million applications and supporting 50 billion lines of code. We take a look at recent events and product announcements to see how Domino is featured by IBM.
Formerly known as Lotusphere, IBM Connect is the annual event conducted by IBM for it’s portfolio of collaboration products and solutions. For those attending, the following is a list of the technical sessions being offered, considered by Red Pill Development to be of potential interest to developers modernizing IBM Notes applications.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. Embedded Icons
• Early versions of Notes supported
the pasting of icons as images into
various design element such as
forms.
• The age of this feature can be seen
by the format of the graphic files
supported. Graphic formats such as
BMP, CGM, PIC, and PCX. Today
formats such as JPG, PNG, and EPS
are more widely used.
• In the absence of design elements
or libraries to store these icons
gave rise to the Icon Library
database that many organizations
used to share icons for use in Notes
application.

3. Image Resources
• Image Resources were supported as a
design element as part of Notes R5
allowing icons to be shared across
design element and applications.
• The formats originally supported for
image resources were GIF and
JPG, with PNG being added in later
releases.
• Image resources work equally well for
both Notes client and Domino web
development.
• When developing for mobile web
applications pay close attention to
image sizes as download times for
large
image
files
can
cause
performance issues.
learn. do. dream.

4. Glyphicons
• Lotus originally developed a a series of
view and action icons for use with
Notes client development.
• IBM has not been as forthcoming in
providing and out of the box library of
web icons for web and mobile
applications. As a result, Domino
developers need to develop their own
icons or source them externally.
• Made popular by their inclusion as part
of Twitter Bootstrap, glyphicons are a
library of monochromatic icons and
symbols that Domino developers
should consider making use of.
• A free icon library is available for those
not using bootstrap and a number of
additional libraries can be purchased
for Web development.

5. Image Sprites
• As the number of icons (or
graphics) used in an application
grows we need to consider the
performance
impact
of
downloading many image files.
• One of the most widely adopted
solutions has been image (aka CSS)
sprites in which all the icons are
combined in a single image file.
• Using CSS it is then possible to
display a specific portion of the
sprite image representing the
required icon.
• Tools are available to build a sprite
file from a collection of icons.

6. Iconic Fonts
• We are now seeing the
emergence of iconic fonts as the
latest “modern” way to add
icons to applications.
• In 1990 Microsoft developed
the Wingdings font allowing
commonly used icons to be
displayed as an alternative for
text.
• Iconic fonts were largely
forgotten for a while but we are
now seeing a resurgence of
their use as an alternative way
to implement icons within Web
applications.
learn. do. dream.
www.redpilldevelopment.com
7. Iconic Fonts: Advantages
• Fonts are stored in a vector format so
they can be displayed in a range of
sizes without distortion.
• As a font, icons can be styled using
standard CSS to create wide range of
effects:–
–
–
–
–
Color
Background color
Drop Shadow
Rotation
Animation
• A single icon can be used in a large
number of ways across an application
and can also be combined with other
icons to generate an ever wider range
of options.

8. Font Awesome
• Font Awesome has become one
of the more popular iconic fonts
thanks to its adoption within a
number of Bootstrap themes.
• Font
Awesome
(currently)
consists of a library of 361 icons
offered as part of an open
source project on Github.
• Version 4.0 of Font Awesome
was release in October 2013.
The latest release includes:– A complete renaming of icons to be
consistent with emerging standards
for icon-font usage.
– Addition of 11 new icons

9. Adding Font Awesome to Modern Domino
Instructions:
1. Download the latest version from fontawesome.io.
2. Using Package Explorer, place the content of the
downloaded zip file in a new folder under the
WebContent/css folder.
3. Add the stylesheet as a resource to your XPage.
Note: Russel Maher (XPages Tips) has a great blog article
(Five Minutes To Font Awesome Icons) covering this. An
nsf containing the fonts and examples of their use is
included.
learn. do. dream.
www.redpilldevelopment.com
10. Using Iconic Fonts via Attributes
• Iconic fonts are typically inserted by
adding a style class to a HTML
component that then uses the CSS
:before selector to insert the text and
assign the font.
• Some of the IBM XPages mobile
controls
such
as
the
RoundedRectListItem do not support
the output of class tags in the HTML via
the styleClass attribute.
• To place iconic fonts inside these
controls we can use the dojo attribute
property as an alternative.
• In our css we must change all the
references to the icon font to match on
comparable icon fonts designated via a
dojo attribute.
