Hi Sergey! Sounds exciting!

Anything more than picture? E.g. URL, demo, code sample?

For those who participate in ObjectScript Advent of Code 2019: there is an opportunity to receive an attempt for the certification exam for free!

Be one of the top 3 performers in the competition and get a voucher for the certification exam!

The current leaderboard is the following:

And you still have 2 weeks to change the leaderboard!

*The option is not eligible for InterSystems employees so your chances to win are higher! ;)

Advent Of Code 2019 reached its equator!

Here is the current top-20 list:

We decided to raise the odds in the competition and we are adding a new prize for winners - 3 vouchers for InterSystems Certification Exams!

Top-3 participants will get the voucher for any of the two exams available! 

*The option is not eligible for InterSystems employees.

This is very wise, thanks Ed!

For zpm-enabling we plan to add some boilerplate module.xml generator for the repo,  stay tuned

The answer to all this could be "To make the world the better place"). 

Because if you do all 3 you get:

the same wonderful Web terminal, but with simple, transparent, and standard installing mechanism with and yet another channel for distribution, cause ZPM seems to be a very handy and popular way to install/try the staff.

Maybe yet another channel of clear and handy app distribution is enough argument to change something in the application too?

Hi Nikita!

Thanks for the good question!

The answer is on why module.xml vs installer.cls on projections is quite obvious IMHO.

Compare module.xml and installer.cls which does the same thing.

Examining module.xml you can clearly say what the installation does and easily maintain/support it.

In this case, the package installs:

1. classes from WebTerminal package:

<Resource Name="WebTerminal.PKG" />

2. creates one REST Web app:

 <CSPApplication 
        Url="/terminal"
        Path="/build/client"
        Directory="{$cspdir}/terminal"
        DispatchClass="WebTerminal.Router"
        ServeFiles="1"
        Recurse="1"
        PasswordAuthEnabled="1"
        UnauthenticatedEnabled="0"
        CookiePath="/"
      />

3. creates another REST Web app:

    <CSPApplication 
        Url="/terminalsocket"
        Path="/terminal"
        Directory="{$cspdir}/terminalsocket"
        ServeFiles="0"
        UnauthenticatedEnabled="1"
        MatchRoles=":%DB_CACHESYS:%DB_IRISSYS:{$dbrole}"
        Recurse="1"
        CookiePath="/"
      />

I cannot say the same for Installer.cls on projections - what does it do to my system?

Simplicity, transparency, and installation standard with zpm module.xml approach vs what?

Hi Jeff!

Thanks! When the new release will be available on Docker Hub?

Nice! Also, check the video how to code and debug with IRIS Community Edition and VSCode.

Maybe it's a good moment to start/try with IRIS.

Check the article

You don't need anything but docker, git and vscode - IRIS Community Edition will be pulled from Docker and its free to use.

fixed, thanks

WOW.

Rob, do you plan to share videos on that?

With explanations on all the multi model parts?

Whatever works for you. I think I need to share the fastest way to code ObjectScript with repo some day...

The fastest imho is IRIS CE on docker+VSCode

BTW, Yesterday I shared the template repo with the solution for the day1 with the code in UDL.

HTH

Hi Mike!

UDL is the one of the way $System.OBJ.Export() exports classes. Simply UDL is not XML)

Just make the solutions in ObjectScript in any IDE you like!

I appreciate if you add a task here - you'll be able to get the update on progress.

>Btw is there a way to update the avatar picture ??

I bet. Same way possibly you added the first one?

The situation is changing quickly ;)

Neerav!

This is a very good idea and of course, we can do that.

But not automatically - not all the members want to expose their certificates.

What is the appropriate way you think? 
What if we add the extra field in the member profile for the certificate link?

Also, we can add some signs to the avatar image. 

Hi Duncan!

We finally have some InterSystems certification offers

HTH
