How can i learn Unified panel fast - i used hmi flexible many years ago

hi All

This forum is amazing and helped me many times. I used hmi flexible in the past and i also know Step 7 classic + vbs scripting.

1. Can you highlight main differences between HMI flexible which i used in the past?
2. Could you please advise me what path shall i take to self learn unified panels as fast as possible - i consider videos, documents, demo projects etc.?
3. Is it true that i need to know java script well as vbs is not supported any more? what is the reason for that?

Regards

 Hello hewking103,

1️⃣ WinCC Flexible was succeeded by WinCC (TIA Portal) [Basic / Comfort / Advanced / Professional] and now WinCC (TIA Portal) is getting succeeded by WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) [Comfort / PC].

There are huge differences between each of these systems. You can try to gain some important highlights from here - siemens.com/wincc-unified-system

2️⃣ The below resources might help.

3️⃣Yes WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) supports only JavaScript - It's state-of-the-art, well-known programming language and futuristic.
