You would think being involved with Lotus Notes and Domino for 10+ years that you couldn’t teach this old dog any new tricks. Boy, was I wrong.

Recently, we were asked to web enable a Notes application, and make it look less ‘Notes-y’ on the web. As a test, I wondered how quickly Docova from DLI.tools (a venture by DLI) could accomplish this. From start to finish, it took me about 60 minutes from end-to-end – I was completely amazed by the ease of web enabling the Notes application within Docova, in a manner that didn't make it look it a traditional Domino web app. The real benefit was that I didn't have to learn any new API or language to make this work - I merely had to use my existing knowledge of Notes programming and the good old trusty NSF!

I'm working on polishing a rough video I made of the experience - I'll post it here when I'm done. If you need to webify your Notes Application(s), you might want to consider Docova - The total solution using Docova was actually less than a custom-built one, plus the customer received the benefit of leveraging and reusing the Docova web framework for Domino for their other Notes-based and web applications in the future without extensive investment.
