ServiceNow Development Handbook - Third Edition: A compendium of pro-tips, guidelines, and best practices for ServiceNow developers by Tim Woodruff

ServiceNow is a powerful enterprise workflow platform with a massively configurable back-end. One of its greatest benefits is the ease with which it can be configured and customized, letting you do nearly anything you can imagine.

This is also its greatest risk. To realize the full benefits of ServiceNow's customizability without risking the integrity of your instance, requires deep knowledge of the arcane ins-and-outs of the ServiceNow platform, its capabilities, and its corresponding pitfalls and "gotchas".

The goal of the ServiceNow Development Handbook is to make you a better ServiceNow admin, dev, and architect. It does this by showing you not only what best-practice *is*, but *why* certain practices are considered "best" and why others are pitfalls. These lessons would otherwise be learned the hard way or not at all.

By reading and understanding the concepts in this compendium of ServiceNow knowledge, you will be able to build more robust, resilient, and powerful ServiceNow solutions.
