In today’s article, we’ll look at the differences between citizen developers and pro developers. This way, you’ll understand which paradigm you’re in!
The difference between “Pro Developers” and “Citizen Developers” has to do with the level of technical competence and programming experience.
While Pro Developers have advanced technical skills in programming and software development and generally have an academic background in computer engineering or other related fields, Citizen Developers are individuals with no formal education in programming but, thanks to their advanced knowledge of business processes, have the necessary skills to create applications using Low-Code/No-Code tools.
The use of Low/Code tools is key to solving current and future application gap challenges. However, this does not mean that Low/Code alone can solve all the problems companies face. The full potential of Low/Code tools, such as Power Platform, is unlocked when Low/Code capabilities are combined with “code first” development.
The combination of Low/Code+ Full/Code creates what we call a “fusion experience”, which allows citizen developers to easily build solutions with Low/Code, while professional developers can take advantage of Full/Code to extend the platform’s capabilities.
By adopting this development fusion approach, organizations can make the most of the skills of different professionals to create robust and innovative solutions. This synergy between Low/Code and Full/Code is an intelligent response to the challenge of meeting growing digital demands, providing flexibility and efficiency in the development of business applications.
