XPages utilize JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and HTML. Yet, deep programming skills are not required to build powerful, compelling Web and Lotus Notes and Domino applications.
Composite applications are a key element in a service-oriented architecture (SOA). They enable you to easily integrate different types of components and technologies to create contextual applications.
