Prerequisites for Developing XPages using Domino Designer 8.5:
TLCC suggests developers have a strong Notes and Domino development background before starting to learn XPages. In particular, knowledge of JavaScript is important since that is the key programming language in XPages. TLCC offers the JavaScript in Notes Domino 8.5 course which will cover JavaScript and how to use it in Notes and Domino applications. The JavaScript course and the Developing XPages using Domino Designer 8.5 course can be gotten together at a significant savings with the XPages and JavaScript for Domino 8.5 Package.
An understanding of the Notes and Domino object model is also important to an XPage developer. If you are already creating LotusScript or Java agents than you already understand the Domino Object Model. If not, than TLCC suggests gaining this experience. TLCC's Java courses will cover the Java programming language (which can be used in XPages), how to create Java agents in Domino Designer, and the Domino Object Model. The Java Programming for Notes Domino 8.5 Package contains both of TLCC's Java courses and is an excellent way to learn the Domino Object Model as well as to start developing your Java programming skills. TLCC also offers four LotusScript courses if you choose to go the LotusScript path.
