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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

For the last two years, the developer advocacy portion has been brought to you predominantly by two people - myself and Josh Nerius (aka @NeriusNow.) 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.
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.
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!
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.
