Hackathon Training Resources

Welcome to the training resources hub for the Infor Community Hackathon 2024! Here, you'll find a comprehensive collection of self-service learning materials to help you prepare for the hackathon challenges. These resources are publicly available, allowing you to start your learning journey right away.

The materials are organized into four key categories aligned with our hackathon themes: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Extensibility and App Development, and Integration. Each category includes a mix of written tutorials (📝), video content (🎥), and curated playlists (▶️) to suit different learning preferences.

While you can access and utilize these resources immediately, we're also excited to announce that there will be live training sessions during the education phase in Stage 2 of the hackathon. Dates and invitations for these sessions will be announced later, offering the participants the chance to engage directly with Infor experts.
