Open Source Projects and Training

Much of what we build is only possible because of open source tools created and maintained by the community. In order to contribute in kind, much of what we create is shared back with the community.

Here you will find links to open source projects maintained, and training courses delivered, by Poplar Development.

Customization Manager

Customization Manager unlocks the full potential of Python by making it easy to install and manage Python packages in the Extender environment.

extools - utilities for Extender

The extools package provides a number of functions and classes to make it easier to write clear, concise, Python code in scripts and modules for Extender.

Fleeting Forms

The fleeting forms webservice provides a rich form generation API. It is used to programatically create forms and collect their results. Fleeting forms are used to extend validated data collection for legacy applications to the cloud and enable access from beyond the firewall.

The Fleeting Forms webservice is deployed in AWS to support fleetingforms.io.

A two hour training session that introduces the basics of Orchid Extender through the implmentation of scripts that automatically add a line to an OE Order in Sage 300.

Training - Extender Developer Training

A two day training session introducing Python and Extender development. Rich with code examples, this repository is a great place to start for new Extender developers.
