📢 Big News: LearnSCADA is Relaunching!

I’m excited to share the next chapter for this channel. Over 10 years ago, I launched LearnSCADA with a focus on ArchestrA Basics, and more than 1,200 people have taken advantage of the free course I created to help engineers and technicians get started with System Platform.

Those resources will stay online, but we’re expanding beyond a single platform. SCADA isn’t just software—it’s a discipline. My goal now is to teach both SCADA fundamentals and practical programming skills that work across platforms.
