Where next after the basics?

[MarkJackson]

Hi fellow Altweryxists,

As a relatively new user of the platform I'm still getting my head round how to think in the right way to approach the challenges more easily.  Clearly having one of these would help.

However. Despite being older and rounder than the average technical wizard I do feel that its coming along nicely.  My question is this.  Where next? Spatial, ML, Dare I venture into the achelmy of Server?

Any tips?

Once you have the basics down, the natural progression (IMHO) would be apps and macros.

Hi @MarkJackson ,

Macros. I think that's the next step.

Then world domination.

My advice would be RegEx.  Much like macros, RegEx is a game changer and the slicker challenge solutions almost always include some RegEx.

I agree with @mceleavey. It is amazing the number of things that a simple macro can solve. My best advice for learning them is obviously the online curriculum. One trick that helped me fully understand the Interface tools was taking existing macros and diving into how they work. The AB Testing tools are all macros that you can right click and open the underlying workflow. Seeing how everything is connected provides a ton of context to any online materials you will find.

Learn macros early; it will save you a lot of time later on.
