New To X-Pages ....

Hi all,

I have downloaded the free X-Pages intro course from TLCC and plan to go through this.

However, as a taster, can someone just give me a brief overview of the benefits of X-Pages over and above regular, frames, forms, views etc … ?

Are X-Pages just another way of formatting layout and the like .. ?

I see this forum looks quite different to the 8.5 forum.

Many thanks for any pointers and info from the gurus …. !

Regards

Andy

The XPages ExtLib  (latest releases / info can be found on openNTF.org)  offers a huge amount  functionality including mobile controls that look like iphone / android controls when viewed on a mobile device, as well as social integration with facebook, twitter etc.. The ExtLib library also comes with 2 updated templates (discussion / Teamroom) which show off the new controls and have mobile front end.
 
These controls allow you to have mobile and desktop based web applications all coming from the same code which can be a huge bonus

Thanks for the info.
I'm looking at creating a Notice Board app for our intranet. For Sale, Wanted, etc ... using X-Pages to explore it's functionality.
Are there any templates in these resources for something like that ..  ? 
Thnaks for your help.

Might not be exactly a notice board but the Discussion template would be close

 I have a 2 XPages Jump Start videos on Xpages.TV.  I've not watched them in a long time but I believe there's some discussion on the overall benefits of Xpages.
 
There's a lot more shorter tip videos on XPages.TV as well. 
 
Hope that helps
