Hey Rick...

Welcome back!  If you really want to ramp up quick - I would suggest some 
of the online courses (they are not that expensive anymore).

http://www.bmc.com/education/learning-paths 

It's not like the old days where one guy can know all the modules - let 
alone the ARS platform.

Hey Lee - great idea about the annual fee!!!

Rick,

The Remedy culture lives on!  Welcome back!  I had to leave home for a time 
too... in order to ensure that this home was the best home.  Let me tell you 
this... after exploring Service-Now, CA SDM, HP SM, IBM TSRM, Remedy and SDE 
in-depth.  Remedy still remains the best.  What's interesting is that the real 
threat to Remedy is Remedyforce because of the force.com platform.  But, what's 
even more interesting than that is that Remedy ARS is still a better platform 
than force.com.  I wish BMC would turn Remedy into a PaaS before it's too late!

Anyone up for paying $999/year to be part of a Remedy development community for 
unlimited development access to Remedy?  Please vote yay now on the list... BMC 
- please watch the revenue stack up as the yes's come in...

And then, let's build some apps that go head to head with force.com... and let 
'em feel the ARSlist dev community heat!

Hello listers-

Some of you might possibly remember me from several years ago when I was 
working at a large national retailer. I was only able to devote about 30% of my 
time to Remedy and after several years of trying to convince management that IT 
could provide many more benefits to the company as a whole (and not just IT) I 
finally gave up on repeating my message to deaf ears.

Fast forward quite a few years and I've left that retailer to work as a 
full-time developer with QMX. I am very happy to be back but I've got a lot to 
learn not only on the current version of ARS (we were still on 7.0.1 at my old 
shop) but also learning ITSM from the ground up. I will be lurking here and 
trying to get back to my old habit of picking up bits of knowledge here and 
there by reading posts to the list.
