New to Mendix

0
Dear Community, Hope you are good. I am new to Mendix and currently working on Microsoft Power Apps low code platform and wanted to explore this tool as my customer is interested on Mendix too.  I know this is a weird question due to lack of time, with out reading the whole Mendix theory document, do we have any videos tutorials to go through along with hands on experience. Please guide.

In https://academy.mendix.com/index3.html try to follow the learning path for Crash course or Become a rapid developer.

There are lot of Mendix videos in youtube as well. You can search them and help yourself with the appropriate content.

Thanks you very much for your response.  
one more thing as we are not aware of Mendix for now. as I mentioned we are exploring the technical features when compare with Microsoft Power apps to develop the reactive mobile apps , webpages. do we need to know Java or .net or any other languages for developing , deploying the apps. like we no need to know any language for Power apps except the excel sheet type formals.

It is good to know the basic OOP concepts while developing apps in mendix. But even if you dont know then it won’t stop you from developing apps. As mentioned in previous answer, you can go to the academy and learn.

Also, once you start developing complex apps, you might need to create custom java actions, do custom styling using css or even create custom widgets using javascript and for that yes, you will require the knowledge of the mentioned fields. 

To simply conclude, the use of these languages completely depends upon the level and complexity of the apps that you want to develop. Simpler apps can be easily developed directly in mendix without the use of any custom coding.

Thanks for your response. 

Yes I agree. I am currently working on Microsoft Power apps, we are currently exploring the technical features of Mendix when compare with other Lowcode tools like Outsystems and power apps to replace with earthier Outsystems or Mendix ( we are analysing as per Citizen developer perspective and pro developer perspective )

In power apps we don't need to code except the excel sheet formulas, most of the business problems will be solved using this features with out writing the custom code with .Net or any other languages. 

Outsystems is also same as Mendix , for specific requirements we need to develop in .Net ( we should know Java and OOPs concepts ) , in this case Citizen Developers can't be able to develop the apps for them self. 

Is my understanding correct ?
