I think there are a few variables that could help speed up the process. How much experience do you have with ARS development? 1 to 2 years, hold on there youngster. 8+ years, proceed with caution but you'll get it. Do you have a team to work with? If there is a strong ITSM resource that can

To follow up your comment, Jason, I think that digging into and really understanding how one application or structure works (i.e. Notifications, Approvals, Locations, etc.) is a really good way to learn ITSM, BUT...I wouldn't send someone unfamiliar with AR System into that morass. There needs to

If your question is how long would it take you to be able to build forms and workflow objects, the answer is probably measured in hours or days. If your question is how long would it take to be able to build GOOD forms and objects, that depends on getting some formal training and working with

John is correct about jumping into ITSM code. It contains concepts too advanced for beginners, and even has some old timers scratching their heads and diving into manuals at times. I used to recommend that new Remedy developers start out by writing a bug tracking application. It's easy (should
