I’m fairly new to CommCare and currently learning through self-teaching, documentation and hands-on practice. As I learn, I plan to share articles, guides and notes here in the forum.
Why I’d like to share
To document my learning journey and reinforce my understanding
To help other beginners who may be learning similar concepts
To spark discussion around practical use cases and common challenges
To contribute back to the community, even as a learner
What I’d really appreciate from the community
Corrections or clarifications if I misunderstand anything
Tips, best practices or alternative approaches
Pointers to related resources or examples
Feedback on how concepts are applied in real-world projects
First share
My first share focuses on XPath Expressions in CommCare:
CommCare XPath Expressions
This write-up summarizes key XPath concepts and examples as I understand them so far. I plan to share the corresponding XML file later once it’s complete.
Please feel free to jump in, comment or guide me if anything I share can be improved. I’m very open to learning and grateful for the collective knowledge in this forum.
Thank you, and I look forward to learning from all of you!
Following on from my earlier post, I'm starting to share the study notes I've been putting together on CommCare. This is a living document; I'll keep updating and expanding it as I continue learning, so please treat it as a work in progress rather than a finished guide.
To start, I'm sharing the first few notes from it, with more to follow as I go. You can find them here: CommCare Study Notes
As always, corrections, tips, and feedback are very welcome.
On a separate note, I'm also open to work and new opportunities where complex systems, data, and field operations intersect. You can connect with me on LinkedIn: Peter Otieno
