Available to anyone wanting to learn to code, online training enables new and experienced developers to more efficiently build modern applications, improve their skills, and advance their careers.
Progress, the trusted provider of application development and infrastructure software, announces a free online training and certification program for OpenEdge, platform used by over 100,000 companies worldwide that simplifies the development of enterprise applications. This program helps developers gain professional skills while maximizing OpenEdge tools for enterprises.
The rise of the digital economy is generating a growing demand from software developers to create applications that will power the future. About 40 million technical jobs are not being filled due to a lack of qualified talent, and that number is expected to increase to 85.2 million by 2030. To help address the skills gap and inspire professionals to take advantage of in-demand career opportunities and build their own applications, Progress has launched free online training with a learning path and certification that developers can complete online at their own pace.
After eight self-paced courses and a final exam certification process, which should take approximately three days to complete, developers will be able to build enterprise applications using OpenEdge 12 and receive a certificate to share with your professional networks and potential employers. The program is available in English and requires no prior programming knowledge.
“In recent years, and especially since the pandemic, digital transformation has accelerated, which has brought companies greater dependence on technology and a gap in IT skills. Therefore, more and more companies need qualified professionals to build their applications”, explains Francisco Larez, Vice President of Progress for Latin America. “Our OpenEdge training and certification program helps address this challenge by expanding the IT talent pool while offers anyone who wants to pursue a career in IT the opportunity to learn how to create impactful applications."”
By passing assessment exams, developers will also earn badges (digital medal) on Progress Community. This is a thriving community of on-demand information to ensure project success. OpenEdge developers can access a knowledge base, user forums and code samples, and connect with new and experienced users.
OpenEdge is the leading platform for developing enterprise applications that demand high performance and availability and flexible deployment options for extensibility, scalability, security and reliability.. Developers around the world use the OpenEdge application development platform to create innovative enterprise applications that are the backbone of financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and more.
“If you just want to develop code, choose Java or Python. For an enterprise application, you should build it in OpenEdge,” says Michiel Herpers of CGI.
