Nayash here, I am new in wappler community. I am the Head of IT in my org. and as per the new company strategy I have to build up a new development team within a fair budget limit. This development team would be responsible to automate each and every corporate’s task that is possible. So with that being said all our apps will be for internal use only. i.e cms, websites, webapps and mobile apps (mainly android).
Now my question is what specific skill set do you people recommend me to lookout in candidates that would be feeling comfortable in learning / working on wappler. Please let me know if fresh graduates or anybody with little knowledge of database or web apps would be suitable for wappler.
Wappler says it doesn’t require any coding experience but what exactly this means?
My son is studying CS at uni (half way through his 4-year masters) and he appreciates what Wappler can do and the huge benefit for developing powerful apps/sites very quickly but he is a hardened coder who doesn’t use anything apart from a text editor and the terminal so can’t be convinced to even try Wappler at all! Not sure if that’s normal in the CS world but it’s certainly his view.
I have been looking at something similar, we already have a software development team who develop the customer facing applications. They are very busy and I cannot get anything else developed when opportunities arise, they turn their nose up at no-code tools which is a shame as they could spend less time doing the repetitive tasks using Wappler and more time on the complicated areas which are more interesting to them.
I am now proposing to create a team that handles the internal business apps and prototype applications, the business apps will stay on Wappler and the prototypes will be converted from Wappler to our main platform by the current team which should reduce our time to market.
I am going for graduates with one experienced dev/team lead who will take responsibility for design and architecture and any bits of coding required outside of Wappler.
This is indeed bringing fresh new team will bring up the innovation and increase speed of development as they will be much more open minded and also use the latest tools and technologies.
And with Wappler you can do so much more, having also a good team leader will enforce structure and steady progress while also making good design and technology decisions.
freshers can do this with some training.
basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, JS, Bootstrap helps lot. you might not require to code much but knowing how things work under the hood is good - esp. when apps are being built for the large organisation use.
suggested is to have at least one technically sound dev - rest can be freshers/people with relatively less or no experience but a strong penchant for web dev.
community support is fantastic.
B.Tech., BCA are fairly good candidates here in India for such roles.
good luck!
