A course for Geoffrey

The University of Maryland, College Park: The Citizen Developer Mindset: Creating Business Solutions with Design Thinking

Learn how to use design thinking to create training programs to teach citizen developers in design thinking.

That’s a lot of “design thinking” :wink:

You mean “back to school!”?

…for somebody close to his pension? Nah…

That got me to goole the definition of “Citizen Developer”.

By that definition IMO Xojo is not a tool for “citizen Developer”…

Abstracting the nitty gritty of low level OS stuff to not have to deal with a lot of it as Xojo does, is not the same as products that need “no/low coding knowledge” to create anything really useful. (and they tend to hamstring you way too much!!!)

I have been a “citizen developer” for almost 40 years, and I can say from experience more than minimal coding experience is needed to produce robust solutions!

That has not been my experience…

It made me chuckle out loud when I read that in the course syllabus
