OK so I have been most remiss in my blogging, the only excuse is that there is just too much going on. Tuesday is always the deep dive day so the couple of sessions that I managed to get to were excellent.

I am so excited about the changes to the Domino server coming in 8.5. We will basically be getting ten years of improvements in one go, including but not limited to…
– full gzip compression
– JSF support built into Domino
– completely rewritten HTML rendering engine with properly formed XHTML
– new design elements to separate design from data
– new URL commands
– server side javascript
– stateful sessions
and the list goes on. I can’t overstate how good all of this is. The future looks incredibly bright for the Domino developer.
