Learning for first time Fusion users

[FrankatMSC]

What does the community think is the best way to start off in Fusion?  Did everyone just jump right in and start playing?  I have a good background in various programming languages and also Microsoft Power Automate.  I'm trying to deside if I'll need to purchase consultation hrs.    In trhe meantime I am going through the available tutorials.

Any advice on how to begin would be greatly appreciated.

I started learning Fusion using the available tutorials.  I found this helpful for beginner to intermediate type needs.
However, I've seen some pretty incredible things you can do with Fusion from this community.

It really came down with just playing around and testing.

We have 75+ Fusion Scenarios doing may different things like creating projects from templates, creating issues and tasks.  Manipulating data from WF fields and our own fields.  Integrating with Frame.io and other connections.

In the end, it just depends on your available time and dedication to learning.

If you have a background in programming languages and other automation tools, then the learning curve for you in Fusion will be much less painful. The tutorial path in the documentation is a really solid start to the basic concepts. That's pretty much what you'll walk through if you take the instructor-led classes as well. If you find yourself getting stuck in the walk-through or having lots of questions, the instructor-led course might be a good fit to get you started.

Once you have the basic concepts, I'd go through all the templates that come with Fusion. Install them all and see how they're set-up for ideas on best practices and what you can build for your own instance. 

Consulting hours can be a good support option if you find yourself trying to build complex things, or off-Workfront integrations with other systems also. I've definitely benefitted from bringing the Fusion experts in on occasion and gotten way more solid scenarios than I could have quickly built myself.

I started Fusion 5 months ago and am the sole dev on the project. I had a strong programming background in college which I recently graduated from. I did all of the tutorials then jumped into my first real scenario which our Adobe Rep had made for us and expanded upon it. After that I would constantly browse through this forum to expand my knowledge. I would recommend looking at the WF API and Make.com which this is based on.
