For those of you in my audience that are application developers, hopefully by now you know that XPages are going to be one of the hottest things to hit the Domino world in years.

As defined in the Domino Web App Dev Wiki, "An XPage is a new design element based on JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology that lets developers create Web 2.0 enabled pages for use in Web browser applications running on Domino 8.5. "

The Taking Notes gang has just released a new podcast to help you get you up to speed: Taking Notes Episode 83: XPages and Yellow Water

Several bloggers have been writing about XPages, here are some of the articles I know about: (in no specific order)
- Rob McDonagh - XPages in Domino Designer 8.5
- Nathan Freeman - Why Xpages Are Better Than Cake and Ice Cream
- John Mackey has several blog postings on XPages
- John Head - XPages Comes of Age
- Andrew Pollack wrote one of the original articles, XPages in Domino Designer, and has posted several times about them. 1 2 3 4 5.

Here is the IBM Lotus Designer 8.5 - XPages Hello World sample application.  This is part of a getting started tutorial for XPages in the 'Lotus Domino Designer Basic User Guide'.

I heard a rumour that someone might start a blog that aggregates all XPages related content into one place.
