A quick guide to point you to various resources to start learning Awesome Enterprise

How Awesome Enterprise Platform Works

To make yourself familiar with terms used in Awesome Enterprise please read the following articles

After reading these articles, please check the following youtube video

These two videos and 5 articles will help you get a basic understanding of how the Awesome Enterprise works.

How “Apps” works in the Awesome Enterprise Platform

Reading the following articles and watching the videos will help you understand the “Awesome Apps”, how to create them, and use them to get the most out of Awesome Enterprise.

How “Services” works in the Awesome Enterprise

Watch the following videos to understand how to register and use services in the Awesome Enterprise platform. Services play important role in how we build using the Awesome Enterprise.

Awesome Enterprise Shortcode Language

Above three sections covered the Awesome Enterprise at the platform level, now let’s see how to actually write our code in the awesome enterprise.

An important point to remember is that the code samples for each and every activity is available in the “Samples” app within your website where the awesome enterprise is set up. In case that is not available simply register a new Samples app and import the Samples-App XML file, to get all the examples.

Understanding the “module” and “Templates”

Before we start learning the language, we need to learn where and how to write them. So check the videos below to understand them.

Getting & Setting data and understanding the scope of variables and the Environment

Watch the following videos to understand how to set variables, get data from variables, how to access GET, POST & REQUEST data in Awesome, QS.0 variables, and the scope of variables within awesome enterprise code.

Using various Data Types in Awesome Enterprise

Learn how to handle the data types in Awesome Enterprise, in an environment where everything is like strings by default

Also, read these articles as well

Check code sample in the module datatypes-samples within the samples app.

Working with Arrays

We use arrays a lot in our framework, so learning to create them and use them is critical for understanding the language, check the videos below to learn all the ways we can create arrays

you can check the code sample in module “arrays” within the samples app.

Working with loops

To learn about the equivalent of “Foreach”, and “While” in awesome check out the videos and articles mentioned below

You can check the code example in the ‘loops-sample‘ module within the Samples app.

Working with if, conditionals, and modifiers

Using “If” is integral to any sort of programming, and to learn how we write “If” in awesome enterprise check the articles and videos mentioned below.

If Shortcodes

c.* Conditionals

m.* Modifiers

Working code examples can be found in the following modules in the Samples app

if-checks
if-checks-datatype
condition-checks
modifier-samples

Using o.* Output Handlers

We have support to handle how the output of a shortcode will be shown or handled by the system, check the video below to learn it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VA8zJpUc2Y&list=PLdL2ulPMb51eqn5_iIh3ZvZbCQQB3dImA&index=22

You can check the code samples in the “output-checks” module in the Samples app.

Working with blocks – content, do and code

We have the concept of blocks to handle certain special scenarios in our code, they are handled by content.*, do.* and code.* check out the following code examples in the Samples app.

do-checks
content-checks

Writing Queries in Awesome Enterprise

Learn how we write queries to interact with databases in Awesome Enterprise

you can check the code examples in the following modules in the Samples app
