Introducing XPages

XPages is a web and mobile application development platform. It allows IBM Lotus Notes data as well as data from relational and other data sources to be displayed to browser clients on all platforms.

The programming model is based on standards and common web development skills like JavaScript, Ajax, the Dojo Toolkit, Server-side JavaScript, and JavaServer Faces. XPages leverages IBM Lotus Domino functionality, like its NoSQL document-oriented database.

XPages applications are hosted by IBM Lotus Domino, IBM's rapid application development platform, which has sold more than 145 million licenses.

Here's how you can get started with XPages development:
