There are two big challenges like others said before:
And they will get a tool, that is powerful as hell. The main advantage of B4X for citizen developers is, that they can reuse their skills, if they come from VBA and if they don’t, they are able to grasp the tool quite fast. They build small to midsize databases, connect things, automate processes… That is IMHO the target group for B4X. Both tools where and are used also by people with no formal programming background but with surprising good results. This visual approach made VB6 so big (despite the simple syntax of course) and makes MS Access in a similar way still a relevant thing in corporate environments. But as far as I know, there is at the moment no Python-IDE which so tightly linked with a Point-And-Click-Visual Designer like B4X. And yes, Python is in any aspect the biggest obstacle to cope with. Can somebody counterprove the claim, that Basic is still the most suitable programming language for beginners? I think, python is just runner up in this particular competition.Īnd that is the chance for B4X. According to Gartner, who are recognized as having coined the phrase, “A citizen developer is a user who creates new business applications for consumption by others using development and runtime environments sanctioned by corporate IT.” And that has to be simple. There is a big movement called citizen development. I’m afraid, Winni nailed it from a professional-developer-point-of-view.īut I believe, the future of b4x lies in those users, who did not took IT-related tracks at school.
