Hello Wappler Pals,
Like many (if not all) in this sub thread have done previously, I am looking to expand my toolset beyond Bubble and dive into Wappler.
I found Bubble when I needed to build a highly functional web app for posting, selling, and managing seats on private air charters, with no technical background. Although the site I built was quite gross from a UI/UX standpoint, I was hooked. Long story short, I quit that job and now earn my living off of Bubble.
I love Bubble, and have had great success. So much in fact, that I am looking to a more scalable (in terms of speed and cost) platform to rebuild projects, and build future ones…So here I am.
My main concern with Wappler is the available learning recourses. Although my general programming understanding has grown exponentially through dissecting my Bubble projects, I still have not formal tech background. SO a lot of things that I’ve seen in the forum and docs are going a bit over my head.
When starting out with Bubble, a new user has so many different avenues to take in learning the platform. From individual businesses creating videos and offering one on one guidance, to Bubble’s (semi-recent addition of) Bootcamps.
Unfortunately, I’m struggling to find a solid knowledge bank of Wappler like I found when learning Bubble. I DO understand this is a much different user base than Wappler. I also know that the core Wappler team, although powerful and extremely productive, is small and focusing on growing the product—leaving little time and recourses toward education—which is fair.
I’ve purchased the course by @mebeingken, and it’s beyond awesome to understand Wappler as a whole and get started. I know he is working on a new video release and I can’t wait.
Additionally, I found a zoom recording posted by @Antony from May 2019 with @George (Zoom link for reference). This was awesome. And it was very exciting to hear some of the plans that George and the team have in mind. George expressed more visual additions to the Wappler console, which would be epic, and quite frankly, make Bubble obsolete (to me).
Regardless, I’m just not sure if NOW is the right time for me to dive in because of the lack of learning recourses. So here’s a few questions I’d love to get some input on:
-
As a non technical individual, should I wait until Wappler has some more visual tools for the DB and Server Connect, and with that, more education to follow it up before diving in?
-
Did those zoom calls continue? If so, are there any more links? Again, I found it very helpful to learn by watching George do.
-
Does anyone do one on one coaching? It’d be worth the cost to have an introduction from someone who came from Bubble and is having success in Wappler.
Sorry for the ramble! It’s all a bit overwhelming, but I know others have been in my situation before, so i figured I’d lay it all out. Thanks in advance for any input!
Mac
