Hi Developers!
This is the second post on the resources for Developers. This part is about Open Exchange
Using Open Exchange to Learn InterSystems
InterSystems Open Exchange is a applications gallery of tools, connectors, and libraries which InterSystems Developers submit to share the experience, approaches and do business. All the applications are either built with InterSystems data platforms or are intended to use for development with InterSystems data platforms.
If you are a beginner developer you can take a look at applications in Technology Example category. All the applications in this category come with open source code repositories, so you are able to run the samples and examples in a docker container with IRIS on your laptop or in the cloud IRIS sandbox. Examples:
Hi Developers!
Recently I was asked, “How can a beginner in InterSystems technologies learn from InterSystems Developers community content to improve his developer skills”?

How can I know the port of management portal e.g. from terminal?
The one which looks like

Hi guys!
Was coding today with InterSystems IRIS in a docker container and decided to share with you the commands you may find useful in everyday coding.
# docker-compose build
command to build a container. Remember, it is useful if you have dockerfile in the repo.
if the build is successful call the following to launch it:
# docker-compose up -d
Find IRIS management portal on:
localhost:port/csp/sys/%25CSP.Portal.Home.zen?$NAMESPACE=%25SYS
where the port is what you set in docker-compose.yml - 52775 in this case.
Run the following if you want to launch a terminal session inside IRIS container:
# docker-compose iris iris session iris gfhj gj sdfdsfsdf USER>
And run the following to shut down the container:
# docker-compose down

Hi Community!
Sometimes I meet a method which accepts 10+ parameters.
And often I need only the 8th parameter to pass. And I call the method something like:
do ##class(Some.Feature).Method(,,,,,,,"flag")And I don't like this method when I call it like this cause, you know, often I just miss the number of commas and raise some other flag I wanted.
How do you avoid this situations?
If you meet such a code, how do you call it and sure that you didn't miss the number of ","?
What is a good number of parameters in a method and f you need to pass more parameters in a method what do you do?
