What might be a good idea is to get some small app (ie: Appointments/Calendar widget from Buoyant Solutions (http://www.buoyantsolutions.net/Download.html). Good place to get some example code. Actually any small app would work and then modify it to do other things. Maybe ever remedy's sample apps on in the developer web page section.

Playing around with stuff that works and seeing if you can make it jump through hoops will also help when you take the class.

I'm definitely going to take the BMC courses as soon as i can get funding for

I'm in a somewhat unique position right now. Our organization is just now
switching to Remedy. I just happen to be here and i've got a pretty good
history with my company at picking up new things quickly. I've had a few
situations where our clients needed something and didn't have anyone to
support it yet. So now i'm here.
I'm fortunate since i'm here at the ground floor of this integration but
behind the curve because i arrived a week before our consultant left so she
was only able to show me the day to day basics of backups and some basic
administration.
I will try what you suggested with the app. So far i've figured out how to
modify forms and create some basic new functions with escalations and AL's
but thats it so far. Its pretty slow going but its getting easier.
If anyone has some good suggestions for books to get that would be helpful.
I'm headed to the store for a beginners programming resources and such so if
anyone has some recommeded reading it would be very helpful.
PS. Thank you all for the support. Its good to know there's a resource on
the Net where a n00b can feel welcome and ask the occasional silly question.

I just wondered about your background.

I came into Remedy development with a history of developing in a range
of languages (some VB, FoxPro, RPG, a bit of Java, etc), and for myself,
the Admin course I went on (part 2) was a little basic, but I figure
that it would make a very good foundation.  After that course, any
queries I had were answered by this list, its by far and away the best
resource I've seen for any development system.

The only alternative I could figure would be if you had any other Remedy
developers at your organisation who would be willing to pass on some of
their skills.

I've got some experience with HTML but not the others.
To better give you all an idea of where i'm coming from. I came from a
high-tempo helpdesk. i fixed hardware and troubleshot apps and did
server maintenance and backups. i have no programming experience yet. Is this the way to go? C, VB, etc?

unfortunately no. all my experience is all helpdesk and server administration related. I've just started studying Oracle and i've dug into the books that came with ARS but thats all i've got so far.

Hi all,

I've recently been assigned the title of Remedy Administrator...the problem...i'm a Sys Admin with very little Remedy experience and my company won't be able to get me into training until january or so.

My question is this. What should i be studying outside of the remedy manuals so i can become at least fairly proficient. I've managed to work out some basic things like CTI's, basic AL's and escalations, and some basic CM and Helpdesk administration but its been very very
slow.
What programs, languages, etc.. should i be focusing on?

Any advice would be much appreciated. We're working on a Windows 2k3 platform with AR System 6.3 and Oracle 9i.
