⏯ Embedded Python Best Practices and News @ Global Summit 2024

You can learn a lot from a first impression; we want to hear about yours.

As a continuation of our User Insights Interview program (see this post for more details), we’re expanding our scope to include Python developers, particularly those of you who are new to working with InterSystems technology. We’re looking to conduct one-on-one interviews to hear your honest thoughts about getting started: What made sense, what didn’t, and where we could improve.

Hi Developers,

Join us at the upcoming Developer Roundtable on April 25th at 9 am ET | 3 pm CET. 📍
We will have 2 topics covered by the invited experts and open discussion as always.

Tech Talks:
➡ Practical Usage of Embedded Python - by Stefan Wittmann Product Manager, InterSystems

▶ Recording: 

Hi All,

On February 8, 2024, we asked for input from the IRIS community regarding exam topics for our InterSystems IRIS Developer Professional exam. We will close the window for providing feedback on the exam topics on Friday, March 8, 2024. If you would like to have your say in what topics are covered on the exam, this is your last chance!

How can I access the survey?

Hello Everyone,

The Certification Team of InterSystems Learning Services is developing an InterSystems IRIS Developer Professional certification exam, and we are reaching out to our community for feedback that will help us evaluate and establish the contents of this exam.

Note: This exam will replace the current InterSystems IRIS Core Solutions Developer Specialist exam when it is released. Please note from the target role description below that the focus of the new exam will be more on developer best practices and a lot less on the ObjectScript programming language.

How do I provide my input?

Embedded Python is about to get a whole lot more powerful, and we’re looking for a few volunteers to give it a try.

What’s the Flexible Python Runtime?

The Flexible Python Runtime option allows you to use a Python runtime of your choosing with Embedded Python. Previous to this, you could only use the operating system's default Python, which was limiting especially for customers using the latest and greatest AI & ML tools close to their data.

When InterSystems introduced Embedded Python in InterSystems IRIS in 2021.

For several years now Visual Studio Code has supported the notebook coding paradigm with a maturing UX and an API that is enabling a notebook extensions ecosystem to grow. One of the best-known notebook platforms is Jupyter Notebooks. A Microsoft team publishes an extension that allows VS Code to handle .ipynb notebook files. These can either work against a local Python environment or connect to a Jupyter Server, which typically hosts remote Python environments with beefier resources.

What if your InterSystems IRIS environments, whether local on your workstation or remote in your organization / cloud, could operate as Jupyter Servers? And not only for Embedded Python but also for ObjectScript and SQL
