On 15 September 2025, participants in this 3-hour online workshop explored the fundamentals of ORCE (Orchestration Engine) and gained a strong starting point for applying it in real projects. The session combined theoretical insights with hands-on exercises, giving developers, engineers, and technical teams practical skills to begin working with ORCE.
This structured progression allowed participants to move from foundational knowledge to advanced applications, leaving them well-prepared to integrate ORCE into their own workflows. The workshop slides are also available for download.
