Ready-to-Use VM for Learning and Experimentation

A pre-configured virtual machine designed for onboarding new developers into our InterSystems ecosystem. This VM can include IRIS for Health, InterSystems Interoperability configurations, HMF/HL7 messaging services, TrakCare MEUI, Logi Report, Perforce, CCR, and VSCode, all ready to use. It also contains sample HL7 interfaces, Logi report files, and guided hands-on exercises. This environment enables new developers to explore, experiment, build, test, break, and fix in a safe sandbox, gaining confidence with our core tools and workflows without setup overhead or risk to production systems. It accelerates learning, encourages discovery, and provides a realistic, end-to-end playground for the entire development and interoperability lifecycle.
