Yesterday we showed the finals of the CreatorCon Hackathon and announced that Team Volteoans won with their app Clinical Care Management (EMR). The hackathon team would like to thank everyone for participating in the weekend-long hackathon. We had over 220 people across 50 teams submit applications by the end of the weekend and had some really impressive and innovative apps submitted. Choosing the five category winners and the grand prize winner was very difficult for our judging teams. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacnow20-live-stream/ Fri, 01 May 2020 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacnow20-live-stream/ CreatorCon 2020 Virtual Hackathon Streaming Doing a virtual hackathon means that more people across the world can participate, which we’re really excited about. The downside is that we’re not all in a room together. While teams will be collaborating internally with each other and we have the hackathon community forum, we wanted to do something else to create some community and camaraderie. We’re excited to announce that in addition to the special Hackathon version of Live Coding Happy Hour on Friday, May 1 at 4 PM EDT, we’re going to be doing two more Livestream Hackathon Shows over the weekend streaming live on YouTube and Twitch. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/creatorcon-hackathon-prizes/ Wed, 22 Apr 2020 10:00:00 -0500 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/creatorcon-hackathon-prizes/ We are excited to announce prizes for the CreatorCon 2020 Virtual Hackathon! The Grand Prize winning team will receive $5,000 in Visa gift cards distributed evenly across team members and the four second-place teams will each receive $500 Visa gift cards for a total of $7,000 in prizes. Keep reading for more details on how this will work, and the official rules and information can be found on the Hackathon page. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/2020q1-mvp-content/ Thu, 16 Apr 2020 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/2020q1-mvp-content/ G’day and welcome!

We’ve worked remotely for more than 13 years combined, from multiple houses, countries, planes, trains, and automobiles. Having experienced the WFH differences between 7 different companies, we wanted to give some tips from our experiences. Before you leave the office Make sure that you are set up to access your instance outside of your offices. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/brad-intro/ Wed, 04 Mar 2020 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/brad-intro/ Brad Joins the Developer Program Team About Me My name is Brad Tilton, and I am the newest Developer Advocate with ServiceNow’s Developer Program! I have been developing on the Now Platform since 2008 as a customer admin/developer, partner developer, architect, and trainer, and also as a ServiceNow employee. As an employee, I’ve held roles advising our Technology Partners on building store applications and enabling customers with best practice guides and other material. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/idea-portal/ Tue, 29 Oct 2019 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/idea-portal/ In the Developer Program, we have been soliciting platform feedback for some time now. Your feedback has gone into product planning around developer tools in the New York, Orlando and Paris releases. We absolutely want to continue to get your feedback but there is a more permanent and robust place for that now - the Idea Portal in Community. Not only can you submit your ideas there, but you can vote on other submissions and track the state through its lifecycle. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/now_creators/ Mon, 21 Oct 2019 16:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/now_creators/ Now Creators A new program to highlight your achievements in the Now ecosystem. Connect with other innovators and problem solvers through the Now Community. Visit Now Creators to setup your profile. On the site you can check out your badge progress towards Administrator, Developer, Implementer, Business Process Analyst, and Service Owner. As you can see from my profile above I have opted to share some badges, bio, location, Twitter, and LinkedIn. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/acorio-servicenow-professionals-to-follow/ Wed, 07 Aug 2019 15:08:19 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/acorio-servicenow-professionals-to-follow/ Over on the Acorio blog, Meghan Lockwood published a list of 27 ServiceNow professionals to follow. All of the present and former developer advocates of this program were on that list: myself, Andrew Barnes and Josh Nerius. It is a great honor to be included in this list. Speaking for all three of us it is a proud moment for everyone. Thank you Meghan! If you are looking for information and inspiration related to the Now Platform, that list is a very good one to follow on social media. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/gathering-dev-feedback/ Fri, 01 Mar 2019 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/gathering-dev-feedback/ [Update October 2019] Our own mechanism is now deprecated in favor of the Idea Portal in the Community. We absolutely want you to continue to submit feedback about the platform, but this is now the intake mechanism of record. Thank you! As we continue forward iterating on the ServiceNow platform, we always want to make our tools better and your experience as a developer better. As we plan future releases, we want to know what your pain points are so we can make them better. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/holiday-greetings/ Mon, 24 Dec 2018 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/holiday-greetings/ 2018 This has been an exciting year at ServiceNow and the Developer Program. We wanted to take a moment to thank all our readers that come visit the blog. From Andrew Joining ServiceNow this year and working with Dave Slusher has been a pleasure and I am looking forward to next year. We have traveled around the world in the last few months visiting with developers and writing blogs in airport lounges. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/andrew-intro/ Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/andrew-intro/ Joining Developer Program Greetings this is Andrew Barnes! The developer advocacy arm of the developer program has helped grow and empower the ServiceNow developer community. Dave Slusher and formerly Josh Nerius have done an amazing job with this program. The developer community would not be the same without them and their efforts. A short while ago I joined ServiceNow and specifically the developer advocate team. I have been developing on the ServiceNow platform since being inspired at Knowledge 14. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/gathering-developer-feedback/ Fri, 21 Sep 2018 09:27:08 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/gathering-developer-feedback/ [Update October 2019] Our own mechanism is now deprecated in favor of the Idea Portal in the Community.

Josh recently took on a new role within the company and transitioned to new responsibilities. Much of what was good about the program over this time originated with Josh. He’s the one who posted much of our content about Flow Designer and OAuth. GitHub Companion and our ability to (psuedo) accept pull requests for ServiceNow development was one of his brainstorms. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/welcome-to-the-new-blog/ Thu, 08 Feb 2018 12:52:00 -0500 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/welcome-to-the-new-blog/ Welcome to our new blog! The paint is still wet and there may be construction dust in odd places so if you find some let me know. We will discuss in the coming weeks and months a little about how we built it using a combination of ServiceNow infrastructure and the Hugo static site generator. Some functionality does not yet exist, such as commenting and liking that existed on the previous Community-site-hosted blog. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/new-developer-training-service-portal/ Wed, 04 Oct 2017 17:22:00 +0000 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/new-developer-training-service-portal/ You asked for it, and it’s finally here! If you haven’t noticed, there’s a new course available on the Developer Portal: Service Portal. This course introduces core Service Portal concepts and currently focuses on leveraging baseline portal widgets and functionality. Topics include: Service portal anatomy Creating new portals Portal pages Page layout Containers Widgets, and adding widgets to pages Setting widget options Responsive pages Page editor Portal branding And more! https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/technical-best-practices-on-developer-portal/ Wed, 20 Sep 2017 15:34:00 +0000 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/technical-best-practices-on-developer-portal/ In case you were not aware, there is a collection of Technical Best Practices that are published on the Developer Portal. This material is also available via navigation under the Learn > Documentation header in the top navigation. This is important information that needs to have a good home where it is accessible by developers at any time. We often have sessions covering this material at Knowledge (I co-presented on in 2014, for example) but it can be difficult to know where to access it on a daily basis.
