Summary Description:

 

Audience:

This course introduces students to QuickPlace and how to use it to create a web-based, collaborative application. The course presents considerations for building collaborative applications and how QuickPlace allows developers to incorporate these considerations instantly.

This course presents techniques for customizing the user interface of a QuickPlace from simple point-and-click changes to moving components around with HTML. The course maps the QuickPlace objects to the Domino objects and examines the QuickPlace application through Notes and Domino Designer clients. The course also shows how to create Domino agents (using LotusScript and Java) to manipulate QuickPlace data. Finally, the course examines how to create a PlaceType (template) based on an existing QuickPlace and making it available on the server for others to use.

This workshop starts by introducing students to the concept of a team collaborative application and how QuickPlace facilitates the development of this type of application. Then the course focuses on the following four areas:
· Customizing QuickPlace forms using HTML (and MS Office?)
· Customizing QuickPlace themes to control the user interface
· Manipulating QuickPlace objects with Domino tools and agents
· Creating and installing a PlaceType
