Before you start

Should I take this tutorial?

This tutorial is recommended for Web site designers who want to learn how to accomplish common tasks when building a site using IBM® Lotus® Workplace Web Content Management, the Java Edition. In addition to showing how to build specific components for a page, it also explains some of the important underlying concepts of how the tool works and which elements must be in place to build a complete site.

Ideally, you should have a basic understanding of a Web sites' architecture and how information and design work together to enhance the usability of a Web site. Since Lotus Workplace Web Content Management Java Edition works with common Web site programming languages, you should also have a basic understanding of HTML code.

About this tutorial

Lotus Workplace Web Content Management (ILWWCM) is a powerful system that leverages content in back-end systems to reduce development and implementation time. It enables you to create a framework and templates to simplify content creation and management. This can dramatically reduce the cost of managing your site, while ensuring information on your site always remains current.

This tutorial explains both the key concepts and terminology necessary to understand the product, and demonstrates how to use it to design Web pages and ultimately build a site. It provides a technical 'walk through' demonstration on how to build specific components for a page and how to prepare templates to create additional content fast and easy. Throughout the tutorial, important underlying concepts of how the tool works and which elements must be in place to build a complete site are described.

A few examples are provided to make it clear how ILWWCM works. The installation files for this product include a Software Information Center (Webhelp) , that contains more in-depth information necessary for working with ILWWCM. Additionally, there is a Redbook available that provides a detailed look at how to install, configure and use the product. See Resources for a link to the Redbook and for more information on the documentation of ILWWCM.
