The session attended today was:
Setting up and Maintaining Domino Test Environments Painlessly.
Rob McDonagh got to swear!! (and Paul Mooney got harrased). Very good and interessting session. A good developement and test environment is my wet dream! We where introduced to some "Bad Ideas" and "Worst practices". I nod my head in confirmation. Then to the best practices. Some good ideas and a tool to "duplicate" users and group for the production to the test environment was presented.
The Day from Notes Hell and How I Got Through it Without Breaking a Sweat.
This was a sponsor session. And that is great. There are many of them and they are scheduled on the same time in all the tracks. This means that you have to attend one.
Ytria have a great set of tools to do all sort of stuff to get you out of almost every whole you could imagine. Used without training and a portion of paranoia Ytria tools will bury you.
Don't get me wrong, the tools are great and I hope my company buys some of them. But with the power to fix things quickly, one could also destroy this just as easily. I guess a good tool in the hands of a fool, still makes him a fool.
The Full Monty 8.5
With the risk of beeing hurt by flying give aways I attended Mary Beth Ravens session, as I promised. Very good session and informative.
In short
- The 8.5 client will be very good!! (Hurrah!!)
- We didn't get everything in there before the deadline (Bummer!)
- We know about the shortcomming, we will fix them (Hurrah!!)
- The client load much much faster!!! (Hurrah!!)
- Cool new calender features (integrate google calendar, iCalendar feeds , other peoples calendar, team calendar etc etc etc.
- There is a new Workplace, expect to put any link on your desktop. (Hurrah!!)
- The horisontal tab is now more like a vertical three structure, sort of bookmarks meets tabs and clearly Windows explorer inspired. Looks great. (Hurrah!)
- The new workplaces does not work! Yet! (Bummer!)
Well there's a lot more to mention. See Bill Buchans blog.
