HI @BM_10412602 

You can start with learning about HTML, CSS, and Javascript anywhere on the internet. While learning you can start learning ThingWorx officially on https://trainingcentral.ptcu.com/learn if you have a ThingWorx subscription then you should be able to access that. Or you can check Udemy course https://www.udemy.com/course/iot-development-with-thingworx-by-example-2-in-1/ for a cheaper option

Best Regards

Thanks for your time and reply, Yes i can understand the HTML, JAVA and CSS,

i was checking courses in the developer portal and i saw the notification this portal will be retried in sometimes and we can get all content under PTC community, i just want to know can we get the virtual thing Worx composer to practice in PTC community?

kindly help me, please share the links if anything.

Thanks

Hi @BM_10412602 

First, it is Javascript not Java because it is different. 

Second, We can't get a ThingWorx Composer here. You can have a ThingWorx Portable by following the procedure here https://github.com/ptc-iot-sharing/ThingworxPortableScripts but you will need access to PTC Support Portal and should have permission to download ThingWorx H2 as instructed.

Thanks

Earlier we can use browser based Thingworx composer but now that portal is about retried and PTC has decided to add all the content in PTC Community here i just want to know in PTC Community also do we have the browser based composer?

Thanks in advance

As far as I know, they haven't moved it here. You can submit a suggestion o have a ThingWorx Composer on PTC Community here  https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Ideas/idb-p/thingworxideas

I see, maybe what they mean is only the learning materials not including ThingWorx Composer.

Thanks
