Hi There
Javascript will serve you well in ServiceNow.
You will pick up ServiceNow scripting as you go, the community is very helpful and the internet has lots of information. Best of luck

Hi @ereveron03 ,
I trust you are doing great.
Really happy to see your motivation for learning .
Here are some key points to consider:
-
JavaScript is Crucial: ServiceNow is heavily based on JavaScript. Whether you're customizing client scripts, business rules, or working with ServiceNow's API, JavaScript knowledge is essential.
-
HTML and CSS for UI Customization: Your HTML and CSS skills will be useful for designing and customizing user interfaces within the Service Portal.
-
Understanding of Server-Side and Client-Side Scripting: ServiceNow uses both client-side (runs in the user's browser) and server-side (runs on the ServiceNow server) scripting. Knowing the difference and when to use each is important.
-
Integration Skills: If you're involved in integrating ServiceNow with other systems, knowledge of RESTful APIs, JSON, and XML will be very helpful.
-
Workflow and Automation: Understanding how to script workflows and automate processes is a key part of leveraging ServiceNow effectively.
-
Learning ServiceNow Specific APIs: ServiceNow has its own set of APIs like GlideRecord (for database operations), GlideSystem, and others. Familiarity with these will be necessary for advanced customizations.
