Does it ✨ excite ✨ you when new Nextcloud Apps come out?
Perhaps the Cookbook app brought you joy to store all your favorite recipes, or the Bookmarks app helped you organize your favorite websites.
But what if you have 💡the best idea 💡 for an app that would help you and others, but nobody has done it yet?
What if we told you YOU could develop one yourself?
Well, we are happy to announce that we now offer Nextcloud App development tutorials!
Nextcloud App development tutorials
It’s hard to get into the coding world sometimes even with all the information out there.
Tutorials offered online are often very hard and stressful to follow and leave you feeling defeated and disappointed.
We are offering a different approach.
Our tutorials are:
Written in a language that does not assume pre-knowledge
Meant to enable any developer who wants to enter into the world of Nextcloud
Tested by someone who is not a developer, to ensure the tutorials are easy to follow
So if you lack extensive coding experience or are hesitant to start, we are providing you with all the guidance, instructions and support you need in these new tutorials.
We really want to provide our community members the best experience possible, especially if it’s their first attempt at a Nextcloud coding project! Our goal is that these tutorials put you at ease and help flatten the learning curve.
See what some participants have already said about our development tutorials:
“Great job! This is certainly a much better experience than I had bootstrapping my first app back then. Very approachable 👍.”
– theCalcaholic , NextcloudPi Developer
“Thank you so much. This is really very helpful for me. I am looking forward to further tutorials.”
– olheem
