go to post Chi Nguyen-Rettig · Apr 1, 2024 Congrats to all! I learned a lot (and am still learning) from these great topics
go to post Chi Nguyen-Rettig · Mar 20, 2024 Very helpful. I didn't know there was an XSL wizard in Studio.
go to post Chi Nguyen-Rettig · Mar 19, 2024 We've been looking into custom GPTs -- thank you for the diagram of your process! With our team, we found that if you are already solid in ObjectScript, quite effective. Beginner -- outright disruptive. Intermediate, somewhat effective. The skills that are in play are code evaluation, analysis, and troubleshooting to make things work. Those are higher order skills than code generation. Trick is how to train for the intermediate to advanced levels to start coding with ChatGPT? I fully expect the upcoming devs to warp speed ahead with these tools.
go to post Chi Nguyen-Rettig · Mar 18, 2024 LOL. We have a couple of developers who came from different disciplines: full-stack, Java back-end, etc that might have a lot to commiserate with here. When I was first learning COS, I came from knowing Java and C++ and what I found most useful was having the ObjectScript intrinsic function reference: https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY...For some reason, I could navigate the class documentation and puzzle the rest out, but the intrinsic functions seemed a thing of their own and are very useful for basic functions BUT the syntax for the functions would throw me off and are often abbreviated ( $ZD means the same thing as $ZDATE, whut?) and once I got the hang of those, I could read the code better and things became okay. The other thing that helped was learning how to execute code from the Studio window (or Terminal) to try things out.
go to post Chi Nguyen-Rettig · Mar 16, 2024 Very useful! Appreciate the ability to set the AA/Facility We've been looking for utilities like this for testing.
