First, Palantir Academy is a useful resource to generally learn how to get oriented and started with many of the microservices in NIDAP. This link will guide you all through the processes to find and take tutorials on platform.

In addition to the training last week, there is also a tutorial available to getting started with Code Workbook. We started with an introduction to Code Workbook given all of your immediate interests, but the platform is very expansive and in fact we have another IDE that you all might find useful. It is called Code Repositories and we offer a comparisons between Code Workbook and Code Repositories that might be useful to understand exactly which app will be best for your needs.

One other thing to note, there was a substantial amount of interest in sharing work/code in a public format (or between each other in NIDAP) to align with FAIR principles. One of the largest benefits of the platform is that we hold no ownership over anything you all build on platform and it is yours to share as you wish. Here is some documentation to get started with publishing and managing a variety of artifacts. A more detailed tutorial for sharing a Python library is also available. Maggie and her team at CCBR can also help speak to the ways in which her team has already accomplished a great deal on this front.

The platform’s API is incredibly expansive and can be configured to fit essentially any of your needs. An introduction to the API might be useful for you all when thinking about your needs.

Finally, I will leave you with a few of the community resources available for troubleshooting processes on Palantir Foundry (NIDAP). We have a Stack Overflow community page and a YouTube channel that may be useful. Admittedly, these resources are still in growing so please submit issues tickets directly as needed.

Please reach out to Tom and myself if you have any questions or need help moving forward. I hope you all enjoy the platform.
