Some software designers always choose the latest technology to implement
their solutions. Others tend to stick with more familiar, time-tested
platforms. In this talk, Ann Marie puts her Web application and portlet
development experience to work to help you decide if portlets are the way
to go for your application -and what to do when they are not..
The talk will cover:
- What are portlets?
- What are the key properties of portlets?
- When do portlets make the most sense?
- When are other solutions better?
- How easy is it to create a portlet application?
and also take questions from the audience

Users SIG) will include IBM/Lotus wear shirts, Mugs, Lotus Redbook CD's

The meeting is FREE to ALL - NO RSVP OR RESERVATION IS NEEDED (however,

time as described at the end for Building Security registration).

Directions to the Meeting
Distance from Raleigh (17 miles) / Durham (8 miles) / Chapel Hill (12 miles)
From I-40, take Exit 280 - Davis Drive. At the end of the exit ramp, take
a right (North) onto Davis Drive. Continue straight on Davis Drive for
about 0.5 miles. Take a right on Cornwallis road. Go about 1/2 mile, you
will cross over railroad tracks. At the IBM gate keep to the right.
If the rightmost gate is down, press on the intercom button and tell the
remote guard that you are attending the WebSphere User Group meeting, and
give him your name. He will open the gate for you. Go through gate, follow
the road around past the first Tivoli Building, looking for signs leading
to Building 500 or "Software Group." Our IBM host is Greg Ackerman - they
may ask for his name.
Go through gate, follow the road around past the first Tivoli Building,
looking for signs leading to Building 500 or "Software Group." It should be
the third road on the left. It can be a little tricky, so please allow some
extra time the first time.
It can be a little tricky, so please allow some extra time the first time.
You will see a visitors' parking lot. Turn in and park, and walk to the
Building 500 lobby.
Be careful not to go too far (the second Tivoli building is too far) or you
will find yourself on a one-way exit ramp and have to drive back around.
See http://www.rtpwug.org/sitemap.pdf for a map for this location.
IBM Security now requires names and birthdates for non-US citizens. For
most nationalities, IBM will just ask for that information when you arrive
at the event. However, requests for badges for citizens of China (PRC),
Hong Kong, and Macao (only) are best made in advance. Citizens of those
countries (only) are asked to email name and date of birth ahead of time to
Greg Ackerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] . We apologize for this requirement.
