Introduction

My guess is that most IRIS developers create their applications using its native ObjectScript language or, if using an external language, then most likely using either Java, Python or perhaps C++.

I suspect that only a minority have considered using JavaScript as their language of choice, which, if true, is a great shame, because, In my opinion and experience, JavaScript is the closest equivalent to ObjectScript in terms of its ability to integrate with the IRIS's underlying multi-dimensional database. 

Hello Community

The InitialExpression keyword values does not to set default values for properties in classes that extend %CSP.Page, unlike in other class types such as %Persistent or %RegisteredObject, where it works as expected during object instantiation (typically via %New()).

1. Is %CSP.Page instantiated using %New() under the hood, or does it use a different initialization mechanism?
2. Are there specific limitations or behaviors in CSP pages that prevent InitialExpression from working as expected?

Thank you!

The August Article Bounty on the Global Masters article caught my attention, and one of the proposed topics sounded quite interesting in regard to its future use in my teaching. So, here's what I'd like to tell my students about tables in IRIS and how they correlate with the object model. 

Are you familiar with SQL databases, but not familiar with IRIS?  Then read on...

Hi everyone,

It's me again😁. As usual I would like to share something I study recently, and today, I would like to share about the document DB😁.

1st of all, let's go to the documentation https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GDOCDB_intro
Well, I must say, this one is much better to follow than the others, which I read before. 😭 Finally😭😭

Ok, let's start walking through it together

Here we go😀, we start a terminal from VSCode to connect to our IRIS

We are going to created Document DB demo.docpatient

Introduction

Not so long ago, I came across the idea of using Python Class Definition Syntax to create IRIS classes on the InterSystems Ideas Portal. It caught my attention since integrating as many syntaxes as possible gives visibility to InterSystems’s products for programmers with experience in many languages.

The author of that idea pointed out the possibility of creating classes using Python’s syntax, in addition to the currently available ones on IRIS. This concept inspired me to write this article, exploring the possibilities of accessing the full InterSystems power employing only Python.

Hello Everyone,

The Certification Team of InterSystems Learning Services is developing an InterSystems IRIS Developer Professional certification exam, and we are reaching out to our community for feedback that will help us evaluate and establish the contents of this exam.

Note: This exam will replace the current InterSystems IRIS Core Solutions Developer Specialist exam when it is released. Please note from the target role description below that the focus of the new exam will be more on developer best practices and a lot less on the ObjectScript programming language.

In this article, I am demonstrating how to create a table column(formerly known as properties) with your custom datatype classes by using User defined DDL. Properties are the crucial member of the persistent class definition. Datatypes are essential to define types of values that are stored in a table column. In general, the datatype names of SQL different from Intersystems datatypes, such as VARCHAR = %String. you have the ability to create or modify a table by using these datatypes. Indeed, you’re creating the tables through DDL and you have your own datatype classes are already defined.

Before we start talking about databases and different data models that exist, first we'd better talk about what a database is and how to use it.

A database is an organized collection of data stored and accessed electronically. It is used to store and retrieve structured, semi-structured, or raw data which is often related to a theme or activity.

At the heart of every database lies at least one model used to describe its data. And depending on the model it is based on, a database may have slightly different characteristics and store different types of data.

Hey Community, 

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube channel:

⏯ Multi Model Capabilities of InterSystems IRIS

For those of you who might be new to IRIS, and even those who have used Cache or IRIS for some time but want to explore beyond its usually-assumed boundaries and practices, you might want to dive into this detailed exploration of the database engine that is at its heart, and discover just what you can really do with it, going way beyond what InterSystems have done with it for you. 

Hey Developers,

This week is a voting week for the InterSystems Multi-Model Contest! So, it's time to give your vote to the best solutions built with InterSystems IRIS.

🔥 You decide: VOTING IS HERE 🔥

How to vote?

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the online meetup with the winners of the InterSystems Multi-Model Contest!

Date & Time: Friday, Febraury 5, 2021 – 10:00 EDT

What awaits you at this virtual Meetup? 

• Our winners' bios.
• Short demos on their applications.
• An open discussion about technologies being used, bonuses, questions. Plans for the next contests.

Image search like Google's is a nice feature that wonder me - as almost anything related to image processing.

A few months ago, InterSystems released a preview for Python Embedded. As Python has a lot of libs for deal with image processing, I decided to start my own attemptive to play with a sort of image search - a much more modest version in deed :-)

A tast of theory 🤓

Hey developers,

As you know, the InterSystems Multi-Model contest has already ended. And now we want to get feedback from those developers who were unable to participate.

Please answer some questions to help us improve our contests!

Making a blog using Python + IRIS Globals

Since I started to use internet (late 90's), I always had a CMS (content management system) present to make easier post any information in a blog, social media or even an enterprise page. And later years putting all my code into github I used to document it on a markdown file. Observing how easy could be persisting data into Intersystems IRIS with the Native API I decided to make this application and force myself to forget a little of SQL and stay open to key-value database model.

What is a blog?

Hey Developers,

The InterSystems Multi-Model Contest is over. Thank you all for participating in our exciting coding marathon!

And now it's time to announce the winners! 

A storm of applause goes to these developers and their applications:

I've posted this video on YouTube:

Hi again!

I logged into the demo IRIS again, and for some reason, today, I had an "Classpath is incomplete" warning message. The classpath is defined under quickstarts-multimodel-java.  Here is the contents of the file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<classpath>

    <classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>

    <classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/intersystems-jdbc-3.0.0.jar"/>

    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.8"/>

I wanted to share each of the first three episodes of our new Data Points podcast with the community here — we previously posted announcements for episodes on IntegratedML and Kubernetes — so here is our episode on InterSystems IRIS as a whole! It was great talking with @Jenny Ames about what sets IRIS apart, some of the best use cases she's seen in her years as a trainer in the field and then as an online content developer, and more. Check it out, and make sure to subscribe at the link above — Episode 4 will be released next week!
