I am very new to the world of web development. I have never coded and don’t know anything about codes as such. I have learned about Bubble which claims to be a no-code platform. I understand with Wappler there are no limitations with it comes to design, development, customisation and you don’t need additional plugins.
Can anybody please recommend me a path to learn Wappler considering I don’t know anything about coding. Is there any coding language or web development course that I should take in order to better understand wappler? Any guidance would be much appreciated.
You can do some amazing stuff with Wappler without knowing to code. However, if you were to learn JavaScript as well then things become limitless with this great product.
Hi.
Wappler has no lock-ins. And you will find many posts in this community comparing Wappler & Bubble, and also about people completely new to coding & web apps - reading through them will give you a good idea of how things work with Wappler.
You do need additional plugins - called custom module or extensions - for specific use cases, for eg: creating a PDF from HTML. But for most general operations required in a small to medium complexity web app, built in components/plugins are enough.
Like mgaussie has suggested, knowing JS helps a lot on the client side of things and allows integrating third-party libraries which allows for greater functionality in your app. And if you are building a NodeJS app, its also helps on the server side.
To begin, I would recommend you to refer various tutorial out there on HTML, JS & CSS. Built something small. Maybe a 4 page static website. Then learn a bit about SQL (MySQL or MSSQL or Postrges..) and implement it on the sample website. Next, read up a bit on servers - PHP & NodeJS.
Once you understand these languages & understand what the role of servers are, you should take a look at @mebeingken's excellent Getting Started course & various other docs & videos as shared by Ben - which are all about Wappler.
