What do YOU think of our software services and eLearning courses?
I passed the course, aced the test and gained a better understanding of SkySpark's capabilities. The course also taught how to navigate SkySpark better.
The exercises you provide were really helpful to apply what I was reading.
Overall, I really liked the course and am recommending it to everyone I speak with.
The Files tab doesn't work at all. We get an sys::UnknownTypeErr uiBuilder::IoBuilder error.
Otherwise it has been pretty helpful, and I especially like the archived feature.
We're happy to report this issue was fixed in our lastest v1.1.8 PodBuilder release, available for download from StackHub.
The error presented itself in newer SkySpark versions due to incompatible updates from SkyFoundry.
But with some clever code, we've been able to keep the Files view working in both new AND old SkySpark versions.
We are very happy with this Extension. It fixed a few problems we had with receiving data from a HTTP API.
The sessions fixes our problems.
The training was very effective and really helped develop my understanding of SkySpark quickly.
Thanks for the feedback Tom, we're glad you found it so helpful.
This was a great exercise to introduce how to use SkySpark to find energy savings opportunities. The online design made it fun and engaging.
To anyone looking to get this course... I absolutely loved this course.
I think the pacing was really well thought out. Before this course, I had to self teach using the documentation online and while that can be very beneficial in the long run, it has a real hard time answering what I think are simple questions. I constantly find myself coming back to the journal of this course, rather than the docs, to re-look at making a dateTime or how to throw errors or a multitude of other things. The journal provides a great amount of information in an easy to navigate format.
In conclusion, if you are looking to get this course and are a beginner in Axon and SkySpark than this is a good course for you. It provides a base knowledge on everything you need to know to get started using axon and will challenge your knowledge in the final test.
For the more advanced users looking to get this course to brush up on axon, this is a good resource and provides a very helpful journal of all the topics gone through in the course.
Thank you Jakob! More good news for you - we've just released a new and improved version 2.0 of the Axon Journal for even more Axon enjoyment!
I really loved the robot. He made me laugh.
Thank you Michael, we feel it helps to break up such serious training content with a bit of fun now and again!
Overall this was a very informative course. I have taken a traditional introduction course to SkySpark and this course, in comparison, far exceeds the utility of that other, more expensive course.
There are still gaps in my understanding of both the data-science subject matter and the tools that SkySpark offers. But, I am hoping to shore up my understanding by taking the Axon course.
Thanks for your comments, we are very pleased you found the course so useful.
Don't forget that SkyFoundry also offers some great demonstration videos for SkySpark which can help too.
We started using the podbuilder a couple of weeks ago, and already it is proving to be a very useful tool to create and deploy our custom extensions in SkySpark.
It saves us time and makes for a more robust process that integrates well with our way of developing code in SkySpark.
If you have written Axon but never deployed via Pod, start with PodBuilder. The small investment will ensure you are doing things right and save you time going forward.
It's seemingly no big deal, but I can cook up a new resource pod, post to Stackhub, and deploy on a remote machine much faster than before.
Yes I love the new Pod Builder Extension, it makes it so much easier to create and maintain custom extension pods.
Prior to Pod Builder I would put off updating my extensions or making new ones because the process seemed so cumbersome.
However, now I don't even have to leave SkySpark to create a new extension and can do it in record time. My code has never been more organized or up to date.
Thank you.
The course is really well done and I've highly recommended it to our Skyspark team.
I appreciate how it starts from the beginning to describe Axon's relationship to Skyspark and Fantom and builds upon each concept throughout additional modules.
The interactive exercises after each topic and module were really helpful to solidify the concepts and put them into practice.
That's really good to hear Sam, thanks!
When I think of Fantom, I think of Steve of Fantom Factory!
It doesn't matter if you have a small questions, you want a full traineeship or you want Steve to create some crazy stuff, you are at the right address.
Steve taught us the basics of Fantom, now and then we stil ask for help if necessary. This was a great start which saved us a lot of time.
My advice... If you like to start programming Fantom, start here!
Fantom Factory has delivered fantastic support, Steve answered our many questions to get us up and running quickly and listened to our suggestions for improvement. We always enjoy working with Fantom Factory and would recommend them to everyone.
