Introduction
- Hi, friend. Welcome to The Complete Guide to UiPath RPA Development, the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and effective UiPath training available anywhere. I'm Bryan Lamb, a 30-year tech veteran and four-time UiPath MVP who has helped upscale over 250,000 people globally. I'm so excited to help you kick off your automation career by learning UiPath, the class-leading business process automation platform. I designed this course around real-world UiPath RPA skills employers are looking for. So, whether you're a solo automation developer wanting to level up or a working professional looking to create better automations, this course will prepare you to deliver real-world, scalable solutions that make a difference. My goal is to help you achieve automation mastery, and this comprehensive course is your gateway to becoming an elite UiPath professional who can confidently tackle enterprise-scale automation challenges. I'll begin the course by showing you how to install and configure the free UiPath Community Edition RPA platform. We'll tour the interface, and then I'll move on to provide clear step-by-step demos of the most important UiPath RPA features you can use to quickly and confidently automate repetitive manual business processes. I'll teach you some foundational core skills, and then you'll progress to essential RPA topics, like variables, script control flow, debugging, error handling, web browser and desktop app automation, data tables, Excel automation, database automation, mainframe automation, and more. But we won't stop there. Once you've built a strong foundation, we'll push beyond the basics and introduce enterprise-level automation strategies that will prepare you for the real-world demands of corporate RPA teams. I'll introduce you to enterprise best practices, like variable naming conventions, plus, how to incorporate version control systems for seamless teamwork. Then, to make our automations run faster, we'll explore how to use Orchestrator queues with data encryption and retry capabilities to build fault-tolerant, scalable solutions with enterprise-grade results dashboards. I'll also show you how to safely stop your robots without losing their results. And finally, I'll introduce you to the UiPath REFramework, which is the most widely-used template for building robust, enterprise-grade automations. For maximum engagement and retention, I've also included several hands-on challenges where you can test your UiPath RPA skills on your own, but with the added comfort of my solution videos as a reassuring copilot. I can't wait to show you how UiPath's intuitive drag-and-drop features make automation easy. Tens of thousands of learners have hailed this course as the fastest and best way to learn UiPath RPA. Here's a look at what some of my students have written about it. As with all my courses, this course was designed as a reference tool, so you can easily revisit any skill demonstration if you forget how it works. Plus, you'll engage in hands-on projects with detailed solution walkthroughs to ensure you learn by doing. While this course doesn't require any programming experience, and even though I teach in a very tech-friendly style, having some basic tech skills can make learning UiPath RPA more comfortable and less overwhelming. If you feel like your basic tech skills might need some sprucing up, I highly recommend checking out my RPA Tech Primer course as a complement to this course. Listen, there's still plenty of growth in the RPA movement, and business leaders are seeking people who can confidently automate repetitive manual enterprise processes to save time and money. With so much demand for these RPA development skills, opportunities for career and salary growth are limitless.
