Bubble Development ?

---

Hi Justin or ITPro Staff:

I just recently purchase a course on Udemy about Bubble or Bubble Development Course which is a Visual Programming Language where you don't really need any type of programming language or experience and that you can build apps or websites, after watching a few videos on my new udemy course (bubble) looks pretty easy to do, it seems to me that everything is going towards more to a UX/UI type of environment where its more of a click and point type of work? if this makes any sense, I even read an article somewhere? you had two choices either learn the programming that your interested in to build your app or hire someone to build it for you? Is Bubble worth to learn, I myself not programmer or Developer

@Daniel-Loyer,
These type of platforms can build pretty powerful tools. Many times these platforms (see also IFTTT, Zapier, Flow from Microsoft) are focused on automation, marketing, data aggregation, and more. If you are trying to build a completely custom application, then you are more than likely going to run into limitations depending on the features that you are looking to implement. Moreover, if you do run into those limitations, how to you migrate away from those platforms which is a concern that I always consider.

I can't tell you whether learning Bubble, Zapier, Flow, etc. is best for you because of the many variables that can help make that decision. Concerning whether all programming will move to that style of programming, I doubt that. I say that because people are resistant to change (especially an entire industry), limitations are evident, learning costs money so many people use programming languages they already know, and lastly, the domain (such as operating systems) defines the requirements of the tools.

Hope that helps.
