Fluid Fundamentals 90-minute Webcast

 I am constantly amazed at the flexibility of PeopleSoft's Fluid UX. Through AddJavaScript and AddStylesheet, we can make the user interface do or appear however we desire. But in all our cleverness, we can't neglect the fundamentals such as:

• What are the differences between Classic and Fluid?
• What are the purposes of the various Fluid layouts?
• How do I align columns and fields in Fluid?
• What do I do with related display fields? Why won't they appear beside their control fields?
• How do you render grids on mobile?
• Is there a place for the scroll area in Fluid?

We regularly teach Fluid development principles. As developers become familiar with Fluid's CSS capabilities, they begin writing their own CSS. Is that OK? Should we write our own CSS? Absolutely! A better question is, "when?" When should we write our own CSS? When should we inject our own JavaScript? These are the questions we answer through Fluid fundamentals. Whether you have years of experience with Fluid or you are just starting your Fluid journey, we all learn by getting back to the basics: The Fundamentals. So join us on September 29th from 1:00 to 2:30 PM Central for 90 minutes of Fluid Fundamentals. Register now!

Mock Service URLs for PeopleSoft Testing

 As you create, learn, and discover Integration Broker's capabilities, it is helpful to have mock APIs for testing purposes. Here is a list of my favorites.

• {JSON} Placeholder (REST: scroll to the middle to see the list of URLs)
• "Dummy" REST Api (REST: Employee services)
• Reqres (REST)
• CDYNE SOAP Services (Note: These often have "free for testing" license keys)
• Sample SOAP Server Time Service

Many of these services have secure and non-secure alternatives. The value of insecure testing is you don't have to import certificates. On the other hand, the secure versions help you prove your PeopleSoft certificate import skills.

Do you have some sample APIs you use? If so, please share them in the comments!

At JSMpros, we teach PeopleSoft REST and SOAP integrations regularly. Want to learn more? Check out our Integration Tools Update course to learn best practices and strategies for incorporating REST and JSON into your development process!
