Hi everyone!
I’m thinking of improving my technical skills and was wondering if it makes more sense to learn how to use tools like Wized and Xano for developing projects (web apps), or if it’s better to focus on learning programming languages and code. What are your experiences and advice on this, considering the future?
I recommend you start as a generalist. In learning, in general, studies show that you learn much faster when your training is less focused on a specific niche, because your brain can make more fundamental connections faster. It’s the same reason elite sports pros often started across a range of unrelated sports training.
If you learned Wized + Xano, you’d increase your capabilities faster but you wouldn’t understand the underlying tech or solution, and that will limit you. That said, if you really only care about “improve my Webflow project capabilities”, those are good tools that can get you there faster, at a cost.
Instead, pick a zone of capability, e.g…
As soon as you can, familiarize yourself with Github, VS Code, and Typescript, which are all immensely useful in web development and can be used at all tiers.
