Installing Lotus Notes Traveler in your organization is the easy bit, but are you ready for it to become business critical? Are you braced for all the additional demands for custom features? What are your options for high availability? Join Paul Mooney and Gabriella Davis as they take you through an advanced Notes Traveler deployment. In this technical session, we break down how Notes Traveler behaves, how many servers you need, where they should be placed and what the security implications are as well as how to manage performance. You already have Notes Traveler installed in your environment, so learn additional features such as customization, field mapping, configuration files, and more. Take a product that just works and make it work harder, better, faster, and cooler.

Domino Administrators often get called upon when calendars go awry. The nature of calendars and their importance to users mean that they expect fixes to be fast. This session takes you step by step through the best ways to troubleshoot calendars and resources when your users report problems. This session shows you how to troubleshoot each component of the C&S system from rooms that won't book to alarms that hide to repeating meetings that don't stop. It also covers the best practices for settings on the servers and clients to avoid problems. We highlight tools that are available for your download and demonstrate how to use them with examples. You'll go home with slides that you can use when your users call with problems.

LotusLive Notes offers you all the benefits of IBM-hosted Notes mail while preserving access to your existing applications. After the past year's success in moving customers to LotusLive Notes, IBM has new customer-ready tooling to simplify the preparation process. But what actually happens during provisioning? How do I help my users maintain access to their mail throughout? What do I need to do to keep my customizations to the mail template? In this Show And Tell, we take a fictitious company through the whole process, starting with the new Onboarding Planning Tool to prepare for provisioning, then using the Onboarding Transition Tool to move mail files to the cloud, including using custom mail template. We share lessons learned from real customer engagements, showing how the new tooling has evolved based on those experiences. We also show new features in the service which improve the process for migrating smaller numbers of users.

The idea of this session is to give users a walk through of how to use InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes and walk away being able to use the product themselves to help simplify and automate there Notes client upgrades.

A reverse proxy is often a recommendation for the safe operation of a Lotus Notes Traveler and Lotus iNotes environment. Lotus Mobile Connect is IBM's answer to this recommendation. It's not self-explanatory, it is not well known - but it is powerful. A real hidden jewel in IBM's product showcase. The session shows administrators a step by step guide around setting up the network, the needed components and how to install and configure them. Any attendee - and later presentation reader – is qualified to set up Lotus Mobile Connect by himself. The session on the use of a reverse proxy using the example of Lotus Mobile Connect explains:

• Benefits of a reverse proxy
• Possible proxy variants with and without authentication
• Single sign on with Domino
• Lotus Mobile Connect as a reverse proxy
• Configuration of LMC
• Establishment of Lotus Traveler in combination with a reverse proxy

The Discussion and TeamRoom application templates went through a serious makeover, leveraging all the latest Domino XPages Extension Library controls and are now state-of-the-art examples of Lotus Notes/Domino multi-platform development. Come and see how all the cool Extension Library features: mobile, social, REST, iNotes, Dojo and so on are woven together seamlessly and learn how you can do the same with your own custom applications.

So you were the hero. You have been here for 10 years delivering wonderful applications. But things are changing. The boss has heard of mobile and asks "if my kids can do their science project on their iPhone why can't I find out my top five customers on mine?" But you have legacy applications that need supporting. You have new applications coming online. The business wants client, web, and now mobile applications. They want a roadmap for yesterday. They must run on any device and be future proof. Of course, there is no budget for training. What do you do? You could attempt to start to learn ObjectiveC / Java, Android, iPhone, iPad, and BlackBerry. What about security? Information being compromised on a lost device? Your job is on the line. Why not use your existing Domino XPages skills? Learn and take away code using the latest extension library, mobile controls, PhoneGap, HTML5, Dojo / JQuery to build applications that run like a secure version of something you would buy from the app store.

Are you tasked to create OSGi plugins for Domino but don't know where to start? Whether you need to build an Domino XPages extension library plugin, a simple servlet, a complete J2EE web app, or an OSGi Tasklet, this session is for you.

IBM Connections provides ATOM APIs that are easily accessible for web developers to integrate your enterprise social data into new or existing applications. In this session, we start by setting up the basic environment to develop a web application and work our way through searching Profiles, the service document, and how to use it. Our application expands to surfacing data with Dojo with focus on creating requests, parsing the ATOM response data, and presenting it in an attractive way. Once we have created the application as a stand-alone page, we then make some modifications and represent the application in an iWidget on the Profiles home page.

Writing good code isn't just about having code that works. It's also about code you can troubleshoot and test. Fortunately, Java has a lot of tooling and libraries that can help you. Learn how to use Lotus Domino Designer (and just plain Eclipse) to debug your code, how to add standard logging, and how to write and run unit tests. We discuss Java in general and specific cases related to Lotus Notes agents, Domino XPages, Eclipse plugins, and even a little WebSphere.

This show and tell session shows you how to get started with OpenSocial Gadgets and how to turn an existing application into a social application. We start with a simple Domino application and take you step by step through the process to create an embedded experience using a gadget that can be surfaced in your inbox or ActivityStream. We cover OAuth, Declarative Actions, Activity Streams, and the social APIs to build gadgets that take advantage of the latest features coming in Notes Social Edition and Connections.
