Why become a Sitecore developer

If you are a developer and you have the opportunity to participate in a project with Sitecore, I recommend that you take advantage of it.

Benefits of knowing how to develop with Sitecore

Structured CMS

From a developer's point of view, Sitecore may seem monstrous because the learning curve is very tough, but at the same time it's a very structured CMS and you'll probably recognize several patterns of development.

Job opportunities

Another addition is that it is a good Work guarantee Since the Sitecore developers they are scarce and to be able to use it you need a certification or that the company you work for has one.

Native features

The biggest obstacle you'll encounter with Sitecore, at the same time, is also one of its advantages, and that is that it already incorporates many features natively. The problem is to know them all. If you have worked with .Net and MVC, learning is limited to the peculiarities that Sitecore has. In addition, if you have used other CMS such as Umbraco, it will also be easier for you, since you only have to learn a few names.

Frontend tools

In my opinion, it incorporates two things: very useful tools, especially for Frontend development: Experience Editor and Simulators.

Experience Editor: With this tool, in addition to having an edition of the interactive content, errors can be seen at that moment without breaking anything.

Simulators: Simulators are something similar, they allow you to see the behavior of the page/site on different devices, and also, how it will behave over time, such as publication dates, changes that may result in certain dates, etc. Device detection and simulation is not only for seeing what it looks like, but also for the analysis tools offered by Sitecore. One of its greatest advantages for the user and the programmer is that you can do a more precise debug thanks to this.

Sitecore is a very good solution if you want to develop components to analyze data and behavior on your site. With any other CMS you would have to invest an amount of time (and resources) just to match the functionality you already have in Sitecore.

If you are interested in learning or want to see some examples, I recommend that you watch these videos.

This other one is much more extensive but you can see more in depth the tools you can use with Sitecore, such as GlassMapper, Unicorn or TDS.

In short, as a professional it can offer you very good job opportunities and, as a developer, it can help you improve at a professional level.
