REMINDER: EWD Course before the VistA Community Meeting Jan. 14-16th
Nancy Anthracite
EWD.js is a framework for quick and easy development of modern,
state-of-the-art browser-based client/server applications. It is
specifically designed for use with Mumps databases, and is therefore ideal
for use with VistA. EWD.js has become the de-facto toolset for modernising
VISTA for both desktop and mobile devices within the Open Source VistA
development community, and has also recently been approved for use by the
VA. If you want to be involved in VistA modernisation, then you need to
find out about EWD.js!
This 3-day course will provide in-depth, intensive training in the
installation, configuration and use of EWD.js. The course is suitable for
not only beginners, but also active users of the older "classic" EWD
product who want to update their skills. The course will be a mixture of
classroom teaching/presentation and practical hands-on development
exercises. By the end of the course, you should be in a position to develop
modern HTML5-based desktop and mobile browser-based applications on top of
VISTA.
Course Summary:
EWD Course will be held Jan. 14-16th at the Marriott Hotel next to the UC
Davis Medical Center in Sacramento.
The VistA Community Meeting will immediately follow this course Friday, Jan.
17 through Sunday, Jan. 20.
This course is designed for all VISTA developers who wish to learn about
EWD.js and its ground-breaking features:
• the Node.js-based ewdGateway2 platform;
• developing EWD.js applications entirely in Javascript and JSON;
• the abstraction of the MUMPS database as a Native JSON database;
• lightweight, realtime browser-based client/server applications using
EWD.js's WebSocket framework;
• VISTA integration with EWD.js.
The course will assume no prior knowledge of EWD.js or browser-based
development. By the end of the 3-day course, all students should be capable
of creating desktop and mobile web front-ends for VISTA. The course will
focus on how EWD.js works, its design principles and philosophy. The next
step will be to demonstrate how to build a browser-based application on top
of VISTA using EWD.js.
Along the way, students will participate in hand-on exercises. To this end,
all students should come prepared with a laptop and have an installed and
running version of the dEWDrop Virtual Machine.
This course will be suitable for not only MUMPS developers who have at
least a basic understanding of JavaScript, but also JavaScript developers
who want to learn how to implement browser-based interfaces for VISTA
without having to learn and understand the MUMPS language.
Student are encouraged to read the EWD.js documentation in advance of the
course, although this is not an essential requirement.
Students must have:
• A web browser, ideally Chrome, and a good text editor.
• For Mac OS X users, Coda 2 is a highly recommended toolset for EWD.js
development.
• Bring a laptop computer with the dEWDrop VM installed and running (on
either VMWare or VirtualBox).
You'll need to be able to create and edit files on your dEWDrop VM and run
the GT.M shell. Windows users should install WinSCP and puTTY in order to
do this.
The link for registration for the course is:

The course fee is $1200.
The information for the hotel is found on the VistA Community Meeting page.
We are awaiting the registration code but the rooms will be $124 a night.
There is remodling going on in the hotel which will cut the total number of
rooms available at the hotel down to 100, so book ASAP. If you are staying
for a week, at the moment, you can get a reduced long term rate of $119 by
booking on the Marriott web site.
