Target Platforms

Browser

Install IE,FF,Chrome,Safari Develop/Debug: FF

Install those*

XPiNC (stand alone) Sidebar application Composite application IBM Portal

You have what you need

Admin access Admin access Devices Emulators

IBM Connections

Run off a VM (needs patience)

Mobile

Mac emulator runs on OS/X only (so you finally can justify an iPad)

Others
* Microsoft tells you: IE6 must die!

Run everywhere XPages need planning

Decompose UI functionality into blocks that fit the smallest UI you are targeting Make use of Custom Control Parameters What wires would you want to use?

8 |

2012 IBM Corporation

Wires

Build higher level custom controls Don't make assumptions on the containing page Take advantage of custom parameters to define interaction between custom controls and pages Extend the same principles when connecting XPages in Portal or XPiNC Wires = SOA of UI

Browser

No all browsers are created equal

Test in as many browsers you can Test on as many platforms as you can

Rule of thumb: Dojo version needs to be released AFTER the browser Some vendors interpret HTML5 in their own way

Mobile applications Canvas

Language settings might differ Default fonts

2012 IBM Corporation

XPiNC

Consider using a composite application instead of a plain XPiNC No Drag & Drop support between XPiNC Windows Wires in PIM are sensitive to timing Has a set of distinct properties
