How do you cope with the different releases across the training materials?

[Kat Radner]

Hi!

Slowly ramping my knowledge, and I absolutely enjoy the Now Learning, plus the great community around it!

There's also a plethora of additional content out there by experts, but depending on when the content was created, I struggle to follow along, as the instances shown are already a few releases back. 

Even with Now Learning being up to date, I then have my first look at productive stacks we're working on, and they are on the oldest possible version, and not congruent with what I trained on.

Has anyone found a simple way to "translate" between the different releases without having to dig through release notes and webinars (which are great, don't get me wrong) for quick access when needed?

Cheers,

Kat

I believe the difference will not be that significant between two versions, it can be tricky when it comes to names... for example Workflow editor was replaced by Flow designer and Xandau renames this to Workflow Studio, which is super confusing... but I do not expect that stuff learnt for Vancouver or Washington would be irrelevant for Xanadu

Not significant, but as you said, quite confusing, especially if one is just starting out and can't 1:1 follow along with a training.

I think the only way is going through the release notes, Webinars and few youtube videos about the recent changes or some articles on Community about the latest releases and latest changes.
