JS video tutorial information incorrect - unable to follow instructions - how to get assistance?

[lukeko]

Hi guys,

Anyone else trying to learn JavaScript, watching the tutorial video at https://nowlearning.servicenow.com/lxp/en/pages/learning-course?id=learning_course&course_id=8cdb2ad... about setting up a Personal Developer Instance and realising the instructions that the presenter, Chuck Tomasi, is providing, are out of date and unable to be followed?

Finding this an extremely clunky experience with servicenow, but keen to persevere if possible.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The issue is at time stamp 1:47 on the video link above. I have set up an instance, but when I log in it does NOT look like the screen he is showing (very far from it, with different URL) and I cannot for the life of me find out how to get where he is to continue the course.

Kindly,

Luke

PS. Hope I have selected the best board location to post this?

Hi, Once logged in your instance may look different if Polaris/nextgen user view is enabled (which it is now OOB).
You can disable the Polaris view  by setting this global user preference to false.

Then navigate directly to base instance url and you should be good to go.

Thanks for your reply, Tony.

Seems unnecessarily complicated, but do appreciate the instruction.

I have since decided to learn JavaScript via FreeCodeCamp at https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/basic-javascript/commen... as it is a MUCH more simpler and streamlined, hands-on experience, which comes HIGHLY recommended.
