go to post Ben Spead · Mar 2, 2023 @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 :)
go to post Ben Spead · Feb 28, 2023 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?

go to post Ben Spead · Feb 28, 2023 @Raj Singh - this is great, thank you for the exciting updated! Where can we find more details on this?

go to post Ben Spead · Feb 28, 2023 @Mark Hanson - thank you for clearly describing this change ... it's important for users to understand this!
go to post Ben Spead · Feb 28, 2023 @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?KEY...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?KEY... 2015.2: https://cedocs.intersystems.com/ens20152/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls... Hope that helps!
go to post Ben Spead · Feb 27, 2023 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!

go to post Ben Spead · Feb 10, 2023 @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?
go to post Ben Spead · Feb 10, 2023 @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.
go to post Ben Spead · Feb 10, 2023 @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.
go to post Ben Spead · Feb 10, 2023 @Alexey Maslov - check out https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/isc-codetidy .... this package includes automatic expansion of ObjectScript commands. Even if you don't want to use the whole package, you can find the sample code to do expansion. @Evan Gabhart - can you please advise as to the specific class where the expansion code can be found?
go to post Ben Spead · Feb 10, 2023 "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? (CC: @Dawn Czaja )
