How to develop and build WeChat Mini Programs with zero basic knowledge?

WeChat mini programs are applications that can be used without downloading and installing. They realize the desire of "apps being within reach". Users can open and use them by scanning or searching. Zhang Xiaolong officially released WeChat Mini Programs at the 2017 WeChat Open Class Pro. The newly launched WeChat Mini Programs quickly dominated major Internet hot spots throughout 2017. With the continuous improvement and optimization of its functions, the degree of openness has continued to increase, making people full of expectations for its future.

Mini programs are created based on WeChat. Since WeChat is a strong social channel, a natural and outstanding advantage of its mini programs is its strong social attribute. At the same time, by observing the design of the mini program, it can be found that WeChat has made great innovations in the sharing function. It is no longer just content sharing similar to public accounts, but also brings a new way of collaboration.

Since WeChat mini programs are a new form of usage independent of official accounts, they are essentially the same thing. And the tool itself has a very strong attribute: "improve efficiency and leave after use". Therefore, the design of the mini program is based on the principle of lightness and convenience, encouraging users to "use it and go". WeChat Mini Programs are developed using a language adapted from js, CSS, and HTML, and also provide a variety of proprietary components and APIs. It is a set of custom syntax tailored for WeChat. Therefore, the user experience of WeChat mini-programs will be smoother and more convenient than ordinary H5.

However, due to the tool attributes of WeChat Mini Programs, it is much more difficult to get started than Official Accounts. When building WeChat Mini Programs, individuals not only need to have programming knowledge, but also have a certain foundation in interaction, design, etc. Such a high threshold makes it difficult for many ordinary users to get involved.
