Zoho Developer Community - 2024 initiatives



Zoho Developer Community is a hive of innovative minds, where collaboration and knowledge sharing reign supreme. This platform offers a variety of avenues to support your development journey in Zoho, including the Developer Forum, Developers Zoho User Group (ZUG) Cliq channel, and the Developers ZUG Meetups. 

Feel free to dive into conversations, seek guidance, or even offer your expertise to fellow developers. Remember, we're all in this together, driven by a shared passion for innovation and problem-solving. We can't wait to witness the unique perspectives and contributions you'll bring to the table.

Having hosted many meetups and events in the past, we've witnessed the value of networking, shared learning, and collaboration among members. As we look forward to 2024, an exclusive series of events is on the horizon, and we invite developers from all corners to join us. Embrace the community experience with Zoho, and let's make the most of these opportunities together.

Take a moment to review the details of each event listed below and complete this form by indicating your preferred events. Feel free to select all that pique your interest – there's no need to hold back; we'll ensure you receive the invitations accordingly.

Zoho Developer Hangout  (ZDH)

We believe that by sharing our knowledge and experiences, we can accelerate our learning and formulate better solutions. Through ZDH, we aim to provide a platform for the developer community members to share their expertise and learn from each other. This format enables the community to engage in interactive discussions, share their own experiences, and gain valuable insights into innovative problem-solving strategies employed by their peers.

Extensions for Finance 101

Extensions augment the functionality of Zoho products and integrate Zoho products with other business applications. We had extensively covered the nitty-gritty of building and publishing extensions on the Zoho Marketplace in the first two segments of this series. This time, we're focusing on the most-sought after area - Extensions for Zoho Finance Suite. 

Client Script 101

The Client Script feature provides a platform to customize Zoho CRM with your business logic, allowing you to achieve and extend your business cases. It involves a piece of JavaScript code that operates on your web browser, not the server. Following a survey among the developer community members, we've gathered compelling use cases for implementing Client Script, all of which will be covered in this series along with live demonstrations.

API 101

API is the messenger that delivers your request to the provider, and then delivers the response back to you. APIs are employed to enhance efficiency, streamline data sharing in a controlled manner, and manage data effectively. Use Zoho CRM's APIs to connect multiple data sources, enhance your workflows with additional data, and maintain a single point of truth. Stay tuned for the upcoming sessions in our API 101 series, where we will delve into the essential topics of Zoho CRM APIs.

Zoho Circuit 101

Zoho Circuit is a platform for integrating microservices to create automated workflows, allowing users to build applications with or without code. You can build by selecting controls and entering values or opt for using simple JSON codes in Code View. Zoho Circuit also provides developing environments for creating functions. This Function as a Service(FaaS) supports languages such as Deluge, Go, Java, Node JS, and Python. In this series, we will discuss the key functionalities of Zoho Circuit and their benefits, and live demonstrations from experts.

Zoho QEngine 101

Zoho QEngine is a powerful and versatile test automation software that supports Single-click switching of testing across web, mobile, and API platforms, No-code, low-code, and pro-code for test creation, and so much more. In the ZQEngine 101 series, we'll be discussing the capabilities of ZQEngine, industry-specific solutions, and role-specific demonstrations – the whole nine yards. Registration and more details here.

Zoho Apptics 101

Zoho Apptics is a privacy-by-design application analytics, in-app feedback, usage, and performance monitoring solution built to suit the analytical needs of everyone involved in the app development lifecycle. It offers lightweight and modular SDKs for multiple platforms that are easy to integrate. In this series, we will dive deep into every nook and corner of application analytics and explore how Zoho Apptics can help you measure key performance indicators for your app, leverage actionable in-app insights, and make data-backed decisions.

Catalyst 101

Catalyst by Zoho is a cloud-based, scalable platform for developing software services and applications. It lets developers focus on user experience and business logic without the hassle of managing server-side components. Catalyst 101 is set to explore the Catalyst development platform, its services, and components.

In-Person Bootcamps

Zoho Developer Community in-person bootcamps offer hands-on learning experience, expert guidance, and networking opportunities. With practical sessions led by experts,  the bootcamps enable participants to actively engage with Zoho's development tools and APIs, fuel creativity in a supportive environment, showcase their projects, and gather insightful feedback from seasoned developers.
