Lotusphere 2008: Day 2
Posted by Theo Heselmans on January 23rd, 2008
Strange LS day today. I only went to 1 session, but a good one: Jack Ratcliff showed off the latest release of Ext.nd. Great framework. Still a long way to go, but it's very promising !
I did not intend to do my 7 to 8 appdev upgrade exam, as I hardly have used Notes 8, but I was given a voucher for a free exam, so what the heck, I'll give it a try. I first spend 2 hours in the prep lab 'getting ready'. Very difficult/new topics for me: composite apps, web services,... . Then 75 minutes exam. I needed the have 45 correct answers out of 60 questions (75%). I got ... 73%. Bummer, 1 more good answer and I would have passed. A bit disappointing, but hey, not bad for a Notes 8 newbie.
Later I covered the whole Showcase. Saw some cool stuff, got some nice gadgets, talked to some interesting people.
Tonight I was invited by the Belux (Belgium-Luxembourg) IBM team at an awesome Brazilian restaurant.
Wonderful food, so-so wine from Argentina (OK, but not as good as yesterday), succulent meat, likeable company !
Tx Laurent for the initiative (the first time IBM Belux does this !).

Hmmm... The gadgets make me curious already... you will have to show them to me when you come back!
To bad you missed that 1 question.
Now what ? Stop drinking all those nice wines, study some more and back to the excam room ?
