Since I have been working with Service Now for almost 3 years as an SME not a developer I can recommend that you review the SN App store to understand how SN developers are supplying applications for anyone to use. The BMC concept of components/modules/applications may work however it will get very complex and difficult to work with if new Workflow objects are added since two objects could be built to do the same thing.
JavaScript in SN allows functionality to be extended. As an example we have a requirement to compare two tables one is for use and the other is a mass upload 300K records we will have a script to update the existing, add the new and delete entries that do not exist in the mass upload file. -----Original Message----- From: BradRemedy <bradrem...@gmail.com> To: arslist <arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> Sent: Sun, Jan 8, 2017 6:46 am Subject: Re: Advice going forward ** Hi Jason Thanks for the reply. I think I am going to continue and finish learning the basics and concepts of Javascript and then I am going to move onto Java. Currently I am doing online training however I am going to start looking out for some class room based training. So I would assume that one should focus on Java and Javascript for now along with Node which will provide a complete picture. I think it is great that there will be a market place in the future - always great when code can be shared which pushes the entire remedy solution further in the market.

I also figured it will not only help with my Remedy career but would also be a good skill to have in case I need to make a living doing something other than Remedy. Fortunately the new direction with Innovation Suite aligns very well with that path. I have added learning AngularJS and even Node.js to my short list of things to learn in the next month or two. One thing to keep in mind (for those that might not know), you do not need other programming skills to work with Innovation Suite. You can build views, data models and workflow (processes and rules) today without any programming. The reason there is so much talk about other programming languages is because Innovation Suite makes it very easy to use (and reuse) "components" that give extra functionality that the tool doesn't natively. The idea is with a little time, the BMC Marketplace (marketplace.bmc.com) will have components/modules/whatever that others built in other programming languages (and probably even some built in Innovation Suite) that you can download and use on your system.

Over the past few months, I have been learning more JavaScript with plans to use it on the front end. I have no problem learning new technologies, however I wanted to check what plans everyone else has going forward. Are you going to learn Java or are you going to focus on the remedy stuff only and just get help from a java developer when needed? So much to learn and it just feels like I am sprinting on a treadmill and not getting ahead. Any advice / guidance would be appreciated.
