Hi,

I am new to remedy..and trying to understand how can i learn programming fast.

Can anyone give me advice on where to start and what all are the language i need to know...i have worked on Oracle Apps, Java, Oracle Database...does this help?

what is ARS? Is this related to Remey

Hey folks, this isn't much of a reply as it is another cry for help. I've used Remedy and ARS (Action Request System) before and did some minor development with it, unfortunately, I don't have any documentation about development and waslooking for some. I've been offered a job that will require me to know some of the development strategies and I need to relearn this really fast.

If anybody can help....I'll be grateful...THANKS!!!

It's kind of a wide open question with a lot of answers. The ARSystem is really a toolkit that allows you to build applications without really knowing any specific programming language. It does sometimes help if you are able to do programming in one of several languages: Java, Perl, C, Visual Basic, HTML, Javascript, VBScript, JSP, etc... There are several API's that you can use, JAVA, C, Perl, and a couple of 'wrappers' like James Croom's ARS42i component that let you do program in Visual Basic, Javascript, VBScript, etc... to name a few.

To be honest, the quickest way to learn the system and what you can do in it is to go to the Admin classes (at least the first one or two), and then play around in it. Build an actualy application, even if it's something like a 'What Restaurant should we go to?' system...

Actaul documentation is available from Remedy Support if you have a valid support contract. Otherwise, if you had a physical shipment of the software, the documentation should have been included with it. Or your sales rep. should be able to obtain it for you, as well.

Does that help?
