Course description
This edition of Axon Programmer will teach you the basic skills of using Axon as a pure scripting language in reference to SkySpark.
We provide a bespoke Axon Command Console to practise writing real Axon code and to truly assess your learning progress.
Learn about the Shell view and Code app, function syntax and the dot operator, reading and writing Folio and History data, Filter Expressions and De-Referencing, Lambda Functions and Folding Functions, error handling and Axon Components.
This is Axon in its pure form, taught to a high coding standard, using real Axon code to work through 200 interactive exercises and assessments.
Designed for SkySpark, although no installation is required for this course.
Some short video clips to highlight course features.

Reviews
There is a lot here - you really really need to try every exercise and really really need to pay attention to your mistakes as you start.
I wouldn't recommend this if you have no coding experience. And if you have I would recommend you keep it in check. Axon is quite ... interesting
Jason LoCascio
The coding problems were very helpful, but I would've much preferred to have some structured coding sections and more examples. It would take you from answering a fill in the blank question to doing a block of code which sometimes seemed like too steep of a transition.
Trevor Jacobs
Interesting course, learned a lot. Wish there were more examples.

There is a lot here - you really *really* need to try every exercise
