Hello ServiceNow Community! 👋

I am currently learning ServiceNow development, and my goal is to build strong knowledge of both Client-Side Scripting and Server-Side Scripting, starting from the basics and progressing to advanced concepts.

I want to understand not only the syntax but also how to write scripts, solve real-time business requirements, debug errors, and implement scripting solutions in practical projects.

I would appreciate guidance on the following topics:

  • Client-Side Scripting: Client Scripts (onLoad, onChange, onSubmit, onCellEdit), GlideForm (g_form), GlideUser (g_user), and UI Policies.

  • Server-Side Scripting: Business Rules, Script Includes, GlideRecord, GlideAggregate, GlideSystem (gs), and Scheduled Jobs.

  • Client-Server Communication: GlideAjax, AbstractAjaxProcessor, and asynchronous server calls.

  • Practical Learning: Real-time scenarios, coding exercises, debugging techniques, and best practices.

  • Learning Roadmap: The correct order to learn these concepts and the resources recommended for beginners.

If you have any recommended tutorials, documentation, hands-on exercises, or project ideas, please share them.

My goal is to become confident in writing and troubleshooting ServiceNow scripts independently and eventually handle real-world development requirements.

Thank you for your guidance and support!

What is your current skill base in terms of JavaScript and ServiceNow app development?

 

Yes, there are scripting courses you can take but you need some foundational knowledge first. 

Have you completed the CAD (Certified Application Developer) training?
