                             01.1 WHAT ABOUT?"
                             As a developer you can't get away anymore with an application that just works: your users expect it
Benelux Lotus User Group     to look great too. Luckily there are many frameworks available to help you. In this session we will talk
                             about some of the leading contenders such as Bootstrap, Kendo UI, jQuery Mobile, Blueprint, 960
                             grids, show some demos and then open up the floor to have a discussion... What are the pros and
                             cons of every framework, how do you pick one, and why not just use the standard options that IBM
                             offers?!

                             Choice of m&m’s is loosely based on framework characteristics they speak

Benelux Lotus User Group
                              §  A design framework is usually made up
                                  of a package of CSS, sometimes
                                  JavaScript!
                              §  It aims to do the heavy lifting of page
                                  layout and cross browser support for
                                  you!

                             To understand why we want to look at alternative frameworks, we have to look
                             at OneUI first!

  • 2. 2! BLUG 01.1 WHAT ABOUT?" As a developer you can't get away anymore with an application that just works: your users expect it Benelux Lotus User Group to look great too. Luckily there are many frameworks available to help you. In this session we will talk about some of the leading contenders such as Bootstrap, Kendo UI, jQuery Mobile, Blueprint, 960 grids, show some demos and then open up the floor to have a discussion... What are the pros and cons of every framework, how do you pick one, and why not just use the standard options that IBM offers?! Freedom of choice!

  • 10. 10 ! BLUG 03.2 WHY DESIGN MATTERS" Benelux Lotus User Group §  Users don't care about what the application does, they do care about how it looks and feels! §  Consistent UI makes applications easier to use! ! Matt White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink! Mark Leusink!
  • 11. 11 ! BLUG Benelux Lotus User Group Matt White! White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 12. 12 ! BLUG 04. WHAT ARE DESIGN FRAMEWORKS" Benelux Lotus User Group §  A design framework is usually made up of a package of CSS, sometimes JavaScript! §  It aims to do the heavy lifting of page layout and cross browser support for you! §  Domino has a built in framework: OneUI! §  But we're not limited to the defaults…! ! Matt White! White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 13. 13 ! BLUG Benelux Lotus User Group Matt White | Martin Vereecken! Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 14. 14 ! BLUG 05.1 WHY USE OTHER FRAMEWORKS" To understand why we want to look at alternative frameworks, we have to look at OneUI first! Benelux Lotus User Group Matt White | Martin Vereecken! Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 15. 15 ! BLUG 05.2 ONEUI" WHAT:" §  A collection of CSS styles and JavaScript (Dojo) to standardize the look and feel of XPages applications! Benelux Lotus User Group §  A tight fit with the Extension Library and SSJS:! §  Many UI controls from the Extension Library rely on the OneUI CSS classes! §  Makes it harder (but not impossible) to use those controls with other frameworks! THE GOOD:" §  Professional, business look! §  And comes in lots of colors! §  Required CSS/JS files are already on your server! §  Good to easily start with a complete layout in XPages! §  Out of the box already feature rich! §  Nice integration with Domino Designer! THE BAD:" §  Difficult to customize! §  A bit like "missionary position": the first time is amazing, but it gets boring after a while ;-)! §  Not responsive! though that is coming eventually! §  Look at the source!! Matt White | Martin Vereecken! Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 16. 16 ! BLUG 05.3 WHY USE OTHER FRAMEWORKS" Benelux Lotus User Group §  Easier to adjust! §  More diversity in look and feel! §  Simple source, use of divs for layout! §  More UI controls/plugins available! §  Responsive! Matt White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers Myers! | Mark Leusink!
  • 17. 17 ! BLUG Benelux Lotus User Group Matt White! White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 18. 18 ! BLUG 06.1 ADDING FRAMEWORKS TO DOMINO" Benelux Lotus User Group §  Import the CSS/JS files into the files resources of your NSF
 OR
 Drag & drop to WebContent folder via Package Explorer
 OR
 Add them to your "classic" form designs! §  Then you can reference them as resources in your XPages! Matt White! White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 19. 19 ! BLUG 06.2 ADDING FRAMEWORKS TO DOMINO" Benelux Lotus User Group §  You may need/want to disable OneUI! Create a new theme for your application and remove the "extends" property: it will stop loading extra Dojo css-files! §  If you really want to be brave, disable Dojo as well! Edit xsp.properties: xsp.client.script.libraries=none! §  Beware that server interaction (e.g. view pagers) will no longer work! §  If you disable OneUI or Dojo then it's likely that you won't be able to use the Extension Library! Matt White! White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 20. 20 ! BLUG Benelux Lotus User Group Matt White! White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 21. 21 ! BLUG 07.1 YUI" Benelux Lotus User Group WHAT:" § http://yuilibrary.com/! § Probably the first large scale framework! § Still easy to use and widely supported! § The current version of IdeaJam uses it! Matt White! White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 22. 22 ! BLUG 07.2 BLUEPRINT" Benelux Lotus User Group WHAT:" §  http://www.blueprintcss.org/! §  A widely used framework in 2009/10! §  Still works well for laying out desktop websites but should be considered legacy now! §  Not updated recently (since May 2011)! §  We used it for IQJam:
 http://iqjam.net! §  Good example of a top framework becoming redundant! Matt White! White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 23. 23 ! BLUG 07.3 960 GRIDS - UNSEMANTIC" Benelux Lotus User Group WHAT:" § 960 Grids is another grid framework which offers no other UI elements! § Styling of the UI is down to you or your designers! § Also not responsive, but Unsemantic by the same team has taken over that role! Matt White! White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 24. 24 ! BLUG 07.4 BOOTSTRAP" Benelux Lotus User Group Matt White | Martin Vereecken! Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!
  • 25. 25 ! BLUG 07.5 BOOTSTRAP" WHAT:" §  The current darling of the Internet! §  Started as an internal project at Twitter! Benelux Lotus User Group §  Open source since August 2011! §  Starting point: http://twitter.github.com/ bootstrap/index.html! THE GOOD:" §  Easy to use! §  Well documented! §  Frequently updated! §  Responsive! §  Integrates with jQuery so lots of plugins! §  Customization and themes! §  Extensions/plugins (date picker, value pickers)! §  Lots of internet resources! THE BAD:" §  Will it suffer the same fate as Blueprint?! §  Default controls (e.g. date picker) don't look so good anymore if you use Bootstrap! You need to develop XPage version of Bootstrap plugins! §  Some trial and error to integrate in Xpages! I'm currently creating a list of XPage controls that play well with XPages! §  A bit of a challenge to create your own theme! But lots of tools to help! Matt White | Martin Vereecken! Vereecken | Mark Myers | Mark Leusink!

THE GOOD:" §  Doesn’t fall into the "you must use me" trap of most frameworks! §  It's not free - guaranteed support and updates ! §  The Mobile component looks VERY native on iOS, Android, BB and Windows phone! §  Easy to plug-in to existing servers including Domino! §  Supports back to IE7! THE BAD:" §  Eeek! - its not free! §  If you choose the free version it's GPL-3.0! §  As it not a full framework, it does not provide the guidance that is sometimes required in the corporate world! §  It is with one company! Matt White | Martin Vereecken | Mark Myers Myers! | Mark Leusink!
