Last year Mark Amann (mamann) and I were honored to be allowed to conduct two sessions of our Advanced Scripting class at the K15 CreatorCon. We really enjoyed the turn-out and support. We had two full double-room classes!

This year Mark and I are doing something a little different. We will be conducting a class on Advanced GlideRecord Scripting, and we will be doing two sessions of that as well.

Class Agenda:

1. Best practices while working with GlideRecords (refactoring to reduce calls to the database)

2. Methods of rewriting GlideRecord queries for better maintainability (such as dot stacking of commands in a GlideRecord query like: .addQuery() and .addOrCondition() )

3. Extending the GlideRecord object (adding functionality to GlideRecord via JavaScript prototypes)

Advanced encoded queries Labs will include:

1. Taking a GlideRecord in a loop and refactoring it using object array handling.

2. Rework of a large GlideRecord query into a dot stacked query.

3. Extending the GlideRecord object to have a Between dates SQL functionality

4. Techniques for building advanced encoded query conditions

AND MORE!
