What is the basic understanding of scripting?

[Keshav07]

Hi @JeannineBar ,

Firstly you should be knowing the difference between Client Script (Client-Side) and Business Rules (Server-Side). Then you should be knowing when the script should be running ( Client Script - onLoad, onSubmit, onChange, onCellEdit) or should be triggered ( Business Rules - Before, After, Async, Display ).

Additionally you can go through this for added knowledge - Scripting Overview | Scripting Basics - ServiceNow Community

ServiceNow uses Javascript as the basic scripting language, so that is one of the things you should know.

Knowledge of HTML & CSS would would help too if you work on portal.

Ui Pages use Jelly Scripting.

And then the link form now learning provided by Keshav is there as a starting point to make you familiar with ServiceNow APIs

And As you advance there are a whole lot to learn like integrations, ML , AI etc.
