Tiivistelmä
This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of learning Mendix, a low-code platform. It documents the learning journey of the trainee working with the platform over the course of several weeks. The observation spans an 8-week monitoring period from October 21 to December 13, 2024.
The primary objective is to develop a comprehensive understanding of Mendix and its development practices, including the areas of domain modelling, microflows, and security configurations. A professional analysis of work experience, documenting challenges faced, strategies, and accomplishments, is monitored to provide wisdom into the trainee’s growth throughout the process.
The study focused on key concepts such as Scrum methodology, low-code development, Mendix, and utilizing the Mendix Studio Pro platform in building web applications. In addition, the study highlighted the critical importance of data validations in ensuring integrity and security of the application through validation checks. This also emphasized on the significance of user experience design, demonstrating how interfaces and user-centric designs contribute to building applications that are not only functional but also user-friendly.
The thesis includes daily monitoring of work-related activities and weekly analysis, identifying the technical strengths and areas for improvements. Throughout the project, the trainee reflected on both successes and difficulties encountered while working with the Mendix platform, allowing for continuous self-assessment and adjustment. The thesis helped identify patterns in the trainee’s progress, leading to a better understanding of how to approach complex development tasks and meet project objectives efficiently.
The thesis provides insights and guidance for those who are interested to learn low-code platforms, specifically Mendix. The thesis serves as a valuable tool for learning, allowing for continuous improvements and ultimately resulting in a more competent and confident developer. This offers practical guidelines on how to navigate common obstacles in low-code development while highlighting the importance of key concepts in Mendix. The thesis offers a firsthand perspective on how to apply theoretical knowledge to practical projects, helping build a foundation for success in the field of low-code development.
