Completing the Exercises
To learn software, we must use the software. Most lessons include a hands-on exercise that allows us to practice what we just learned. By completing the exercises in this course we create an application using the Pega 7 platform.
The exercise system for this course is available online and accessed through the Open Exercise System link on each exercise page.
Lessons that include an exercise have a scenario which describes the business problem that needs to be solved and an approach which describes the high level steps that need to be performed to solve the business problem. In addition, to assist in completing the exercises, additional support is provided and includes:
Hints – if necessary to provide additional information to assist with completing the exercise
Solution/Procedure – shows the series of steps or instructions that are designed to help us understand how to complete the exercise
It is our goal that students can complete the exercises by using the scenario and approach and relying on the hints as needed. Students can download the solution to check their work or as a last resort to complete the exercise.
While individual exercises are included for each lesson, some students find it useful to download and print out the complete Pega 7 Fundamentals Exercise Guide. Click here to download the Pega 7 Fundamentals Exercise Guide (7.1.6).
