Where to get the FREE Domino Designer and a few XPages resources
As I mentioned in a few posts recently (here and here (new features in 8.5.1) IBM has released the Domino Designer to all users for free.
At the time, IBM had not yet published the page. Well now they have and the page even makes mention of JSF that is the back-bone of the new XPages technology. FYI, JSF is the Java equivalent of Microsoft's ASP.NET (or vice versa).
Go here to download the Domino Designer (it is quite large, it is an IDE after all). You will need to create an IBM ID if you do not have one, and registration for one is free. There are also links to a couple of XPages tutorials from Chris Toohey.
Once you whet your appetite you may also want to check out the following (in no particular order):
Why are you still reading? Go get it. Go play with. Go liberate your user population with it. As I've said before, Super.Human.Software is back, go dust off you cape!.

Once you whet your appetite you may also want to check out the following (in no particular order):
- David Leedy's Notes in Nine YouTube channel showing "bite size" amounts of XPage coding
- The community led XPages Blog
- Declan Lynch's 54 part XPages phone book application (which now appears to be back, and downloadable on OpenNTF)
- Planet Lotus for all things Lotus
- JavaServer Faces in Action, my favorite JSF book. Especially handy if you need to delve in EL (Expression Language)
- IdeaJam from Elguji Software for a very, very polished example of a commercial XPages application.

A couple of other sources..
xpageswiki.com is great.
www.jmackey.net has some good demos and articles.
Also for digging into code take a good look at xTalk on openNTF and TaskJam from Elguji. Both are good examples of decent looking XPage applications.
