Mendix Newbie and making changes to existing apps

0
Hey hive mind... I recently started on new position where my predecessor created a quoting tool in Mendix.   couple of questions here now... which learning path would be best to tackle to be able to make changes to existing app? how would I make test changes on my local machine before publishing?   any guidance would be appreciated.    Any good youtube channels that could guide me through?

Becoming a newbie and registering at this Mendix community site is a good start.

 

You will need to get added to the Team of the Mendix-app on sprintr.home.mendix.com. If not, call him and ask him to invite you. Only then you will be able to download the app's code and commit changes.

 

If you haven't done so already: download and install the Mendix Studio version. There are lots of versions. To know what version it is created in, on sprintr, click menu-option Team, then in revision see the last number, 10.12.1 in this case.image.png

 

Learning paths: start with all 'Beginner' and 'Rapid' courses. Take the rapid certification test too, if you like. It's an easy test.

 

Making a change: open Mendix Studio, open the project, which will be in your list of project's once you are a teammember. It will download the project if it is not already downloaded.

Then you can make any change, run the app locally by pressing F5 or this button image.png. Test your change, and once you are happy with the result, commit it (Alt-c, or menu Versioncontrol -> Commit). This only stores your changes in the version control on sprintr. To deploy it to your production-environment, you will need to 1) create a package and 2) deploy the package.

 

Welcome on board, and happy programming!
