Hi everyone,

I’m currently learning ServiceNow and have covered the basics. I’m now starting with JavaScript and ServiceNow scripting and want to get more hands-on practice in my PDI.

 

I’m planning to work towards the CAD certification and would like some advice on:

1) What JavaScript concepts should I focus on first?

2)What order should I learn things like Client Scripts, Business Rules, GlideRecord, GlideForm, Script Includes, etc.?

3)What are some good projects or exercises I can build in my PDI to practice?

Hi @sparshvarde 

 

Hi  

 

I’m a ServiceNow trainer and happy to share my thoughts.

As you mentioned that you’re the sole developer in your company, I see this as a great opportunity for you to learn and grow.. It's also a great self-awareness point that you feel your JavaScript skills need improvement—recognizing that is the first step toward growth.

Here are a few tips:

  1. Follow this master playlist to strengthen your JavaScript skills specifically for the ServiceNow platform.

  1. Spend at least 1–2 hours daily on the ServiceNow Community. Observe the kinds of technical questions being asked and how experienced members respond. You’ll learn a lot passively this way—and I highly encourage you to start answering questions as well. Explaining concepts to others will improve your technical thinking and deepen your understanding.

 

  1. Explore the free courses available on the ServiceNow Developer Site. These are practical and focused, and will help you apply your knowledge directly on the platform.
