Model 204 & XML: Serving up the Future

Thanks to all that attended and especially the record number of users and partners that gave presentations, the 2002 Sirius User Group meeting was an unqualified success. Attendance set another record as customers from all over the world turned out to hear how Model 204 is becoming increasingly relevant to the modern world of web services and e-commerce.

Once again we offered a dual track of useful training classes on Sunday. Robert Waggoner of Nodus, Inc. taught an introductory course for aspiring Janus Web programmers while Sirius presented intermediate and advanced topics in XML and Janus SOAP. Robert's material was excerpted from an excellent five-day course that Nodus can teach at your site. Next year Robert plans to work some XML into his class.

Foils from most of the presentations are available online. See the information and tips below on the alternative choices for viewing these presentations.

Most presentations can be viewed in any of three different ways :

  • As a Lotus Freelance or Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. This is the most compact way to download the presentation and provides the highest quality screen images as well as the ability to print foils. In order to take advantage of this format, you need to download and install the appropriate viewer:
    • Lotus Web Screen Show Player (2,968K):
      1. Click the Web Screen Show Player icon.
      2. Do one of the following:
        If you are using Internet Explorer, choose Save it to Disk and click OK. Navigate to the folder on your local drive in which you want to save the Install program and click OK.
        If you are using Netscape Navigator, Navigate to the folder on your local drive in which you want to save the Install program and click Save.
      3. Start Windows or Windows NT Explorer.
      4. Navigate to the folder in which you saved the Install program.
      5. Double-click flgwssp.exe.
      6. Follow the instructions.
      7. Once the install completes, restart your browser.
      For more information and examples, see http://www.lotus.com/freelance.
    • Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer.
      1. Click the Animated PowerPoint Viewer icon.
      2. Follow the instructions shown.
  • As a single document containing all foils. This is a convenient format format for viewing or printing all the foils, however, it can take a long time to download the entire document.
  • As a linked set of foils. This is an easy and fast way to look at the first few foils, however, it is inconvenient for printing and requires a user/network interaction per foil.
