Hello  @Quinnie 

If your goal is to become a strong Front-End developer in OutSystems, focus more on ODC going forward. O11 is still widely used in projects, but ODC is where modern frontend architecture is moving.

Best path:

Learn both, but prioritize: ODC Reactive Apps HTML/CSS/Flexbox/Grid JavaScript basics REST APIs Client Actions & State Management Responsive UI patterns Performance optimization

Frontend experts in OutSystems are usually the people who can:

  • build clean UI/UX,
  • customize components,
  • understand browser behavior,
  • and integrate JS libraries correctly.

For practice:

  • Rebuild popular app screens in ODC
  • Create reusable UI components
  • Learn debugging with browser DevTools

Hi @Quinnie ,

It is shared exam between the two, you could focus on either, if you are more familiar with O11 you could use that.

You can first go through this: OutSystems Training: Front-end Developer specialization exam | OutSystems .

It depends on whether you just want to get certified or actually work with frontend development.

For certification, OutSystems' content is great and explains all the topics of the exam, with a sample exam.

But if you really want to work with frontend development, I advise you to understand how the platform manages its pages and widgets, events, and how OutSystems UI components are created.

For this, a good foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript will help you, and then using SASS and compilers to organize code will be very helpful.

Well, I think these are the most basic tips; if you want, we can talk more.

Let me know if I helped :)
