"Fun with Javascript in Servoy 4" by Gregg Pierce

Servoy 4 has made it much easier to take full advantage of the built-in Javascript language interpreter. Though to some extent available in earlier versions, Servoy 4 makes it easy to use some of Javascript's more advanced features, such as Object Prototypes and closures. Let's briefly explore some of the possibilities!

"iBiz Quickbooks Bean" by Jason Pierson

Javabeans are available from many sources, both free and commercially, and can greatly extend the capabilities of your Servoy application with very little javascript coding. You do not need to know anything about Java or writing Javabeans to benefit from them.

To demonstrate how easy it is to do cool things with beans, let's use the IBiz Quickbooks bean from www.NSoftware.com to implement bi-directional communication with Quickbooks in a Servoy applicaiton.

"Getting Down with Form in Dialogs" by Troy Elliott, Data Mosaic (see attached pic)

You don't need any special plugins to do some very advanced things with popup forms. In this demo I will show how to:

- remove window decorations
- fixed floating windows on your desktop
- advanced info panel sidebar

These techniques allow you to implement sophisticated user interfaces and workflows with form in dialogs.

"Accordion Tabs" by David Workman, Data Mosaic

Accordion tabs can be the answer when you start running out of room to put secondary information. Compared to traditional tab panels, the "tabs" take up the y-axis of space instead of the x-axis making them great for long side columns.

While not as straight forward to code as traditional custom tab panels, once you have your code together chances are that you will rarely need to modify your code in the future.
