Hi @Mcjohnson john,

First welcome to the community.

I would recommend visiting the guided path page, to get familiar with OutSystems:

https://learn.outsystems.com/training/decision/guided-paths 

And I would recommend Becoming a Web Developer course as a start:

https://learn.outsystems.com/training/journeys/web-developer-662

Also, you may apply for a seat at OutSystems Developer School, a program for new developer joining OutSystems community. You would have instructors to help you understand OutSystems better, and you will get a voucher for the certification exam. Apply as soon as you can, as it will close tomorrow.

Best regards,

Hi @Mcjohnson john ,

I'm glad to see you're using lowcode. Even though it's a low-code platform with drag-and-drop functionality, it still requires developers with coding experience. I think you just need to understand the functions and their best practices (link below). 

I hope you will have an enjoyable experience with lowcode.
