@Mark Niman - welcome to the InterSystems Developer Community!  

What do you plan to do specifically with InterSystems technology?  The answer to that question will impact where you should focus.  

My suggestion would be to go to https://learning.intersystems.com/totara/coursecatalog/courses.php, and start by filtering by the technology of interest on the left-hand side - unless you are going to have a specific focus, I would start with "InterSystems IRIS Data Platform".  Then select "Learning Path" and "Interactive Course" from the next set of filters to see guided material for you to learn IRIS. 

Alternatively, if you go to https://gettingstarted.intersystems.com/ and click "Start Coding For Free", you will get set up with an online container and step by step tutorial to start to expose you to parts of full stack development with InterSystems IRIS.  

Hope that helps get you out of the gate :)

yes - this is a maintenance (bug fix) release of our InterSystems IRIS 2021.1 Extended Maintenance software.  The 3rd maintenance release to be precise.  

Does that help?

I think badges are only awarded via Global Masters but I may be mistaken (that is where I saw my badges show up)

@Raj Singh  - this is great, thank you for the exciting updated!

Where can we find more details on this?

If you don't like editing configuration files by hand, you will appreciate that the user interface for creating ISFS folders is greatly improved in this version.

@Abhishek Raj - start with reviewing the documentation for new features, and Upgrade Compatibility checklists:

https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KE…
This will be the most comprehensive collection of suggestions, things to know, and 'gotcha's' to be aware of.  

Beyond reading the docs and seeing what is applicable to your environment, do a practice upgrade of your application and TEST, TEST, TEST :)  

Lastly, make sure you review the supported platform list for 2018.1 and 2015.2:

2018.1: https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KE…

2015.2: https://cedocs.intersystems.com/ens20152/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…

Hope that helps!

Correction on this post - I was originally supposed to present but unfortunately was unable to attend Global Summit due to testing positive for COVID the day before :(  Call out to @Timothy Leavitt who stepped in and presented in my place and did a great job.

Watch the video!

@Raj Singh  Thank you!!  

Curious - why wasn't this a D.C. article?  Is it because the location on github.io allow multiple people to collaborate on the content?

@William Vorhees  - please try again.  Your account should be all set to work now.  Please try and let us know if there continues to be any issues.

Again, apologies for the frustration on this.

@William Vorhees  - just so you know, the InterSystems First Response Center is looking into what happened with your email from December in order to ensure that this type of situation doesn't happen again.  Apologies for that dropped ball.

"I originally contacted support as noted in the alert on 12/20/22 and have yet to get a response. " - I just noticed this ... do you have a Support ticket?  How did you contact Support on this?

@William Vorhees  - thank you for mentioning this ... we are looking into it.

It is just an issue with your account and is not a broad issue with the service.  We'll get it taken care of as quickly as possible.

The certifications came across on my profile but for some reason I am not seeing the green checkmark.  Is this supposed to work for InterSystems employees?

Ben Spead · Feb 7, 2023 go to post

as in the past - well deserved and thank you both for your continued contribution to the D.C.!!!

Great resource for ObjectScript developers!!  I am very excited to see isc-codetidy finally get to the point where we can use it to standardize all of our internal coding styles ;)
