Some interesting Websphere Portal resources and news...
Category Software Development
For an interesting webcast on portlet development, drop by the IBM Webcast site for a session on Developing Portlets For Websphere Portal 4.2.
For a lab on portlet development, you can drop by the site for Developing Collaborative Portals And Portlets For Domino Developers. This is a lab I need to work through.
And finally for a bit of interesting news... IBM Plans Sneak Attack On Microsoft Office... This opens some interesting opportunities... Imagine having a word processing portlet window open along with a portlet showing the latest customer invoice for someone who just called in. With inter-portlet communication, you could conceivably click a button that would transfer data and format a letter automagically without having to leave the portal. Or... imagine a portal showing all timesheet transactions for a given period, and a button that would allow that data to be transferred into a spreadsheet portlet for further manipulation. Heck, just imagine a basic word processor or spreadsheet application that runs via a browser that does 90% of the basic functionality that most people need and use.
Exciting times...
