    This is a great announcement!  I'll seize the opportunity to also promote COMMON's N2i (New to IBM i) program.  We are trying to provide content that can help people who are new to the platform.

    https://www.common.org/new-2-ibm-n2i/

    We also have a TXC user group for N2i:

    I'd love to hear from the community.  Specifically, what things do you struggle with?
