Command the command line


The 13th CA 2E CA Plex 2023 conference will be upon us soon and we're looking forward to the usual deep-learning opportunities available to professionals using CM WebClient as their go-to application to create CA Plex web applications.


According to the Plex2e.com CA Plex Tips and Techniques session description:


"There are many obscure features in Plex and WebClient that are not well documented, but in many cases known to many in the Plex Community. Most of these are only known to the Plex Community by word of mouth, and many of these might only be known by one person (I bet I can show you one that nobody else is aware of). Some of these are so powerful, and beneficial, you will wish you had known them decades ago. This session will attempt to gather as many of these tips and techniques as possible and share them with the Plex Community."


The Early Bird deadline expires tonight at midnight, January 31st, so head on over and get your tickets now.


When you're done, come back and check out our article on the best CLI tools, and some links on GIT, code documentation, and designing with user data down below.
