@Saadiii ,

You can first go through all the APIs used there in servicenow and get a good basic understanding of both client-side and server-side scripting. There are plenty of YouTube channels and official documentation available on the internet to help you with this.

After that, I would suggest practicing scenario-based tasks, starting from easy ones and gradually moving to harder levels. For this, you can also make use of AI tools like ChatGPT to generate tasks and guide you through the solutions.

Hope it helps!

If this works, please mark it as helpful/accepted — it keeps me motivated and helps others find solutions.

Hi Saadiii,

I would suggest picking an OOB object, like Incident, and just dig into the configuration (Business Rules, Client Scripts, UI Actions, etc.) that they have created for it already. It will give you a good feel for the code tactics being used on both sides (client/server). To get started, just open an incident and right-click/Configure All to see all these items. Just browse them one at a time to get you going... i.e., pick a script and follow it through all the way to make sure you understand what it is doing. If it calls a script include, go check that out too so you understand what it is doing/returning to the original script, etc.

Also, refer to docs for understanding the platform objects you find in the code (e.g., GlideRecord):

https://www.servicenow.com/docs/

Once you get a feel, play around with customizing or creating your own within a PDI. Sign up on the Developer site, if you haven't already.

Good luck,

-Brian
