A Beginners Guide To Low Code And No Code Platforms

It’s important to understand that low-code development is the logical evolution (and not revolution) of technology. There was machine code. Then there was assembler, C/C++, Java and more. Historically, programmers have always been looking for a higher level of abstraction to speed up development processes. The concept of visual programming isn’t new either. For instance, some software contained graphic editors. That brings us to the topic of our article: low-code tools.


Difference between low code and no code:


Targeted end users: Low-code is ideal for professional developers and helps them to do away with the process of replicating basic coding for each new app and thus it helps them focus on the more complex aspects of development and focusing on innovation. On the other hand no code is well suited for business users who while having extensive domain knowledge, lack the ability to code. It allows the process owners to address issues that they know best without having to overly rely on an IT team. .


Use case: No code is ideally suited for front-end programs that can be quickly developed using drag-and-drop interfaces. Apps with user interfaces that pull data from sources and report, analyse, import, and export data are suitable options. Additionally, using no-code is the best way to replace tedious tasks such as Excel-based reports that business teams need. It also works well for internal apps that don’t have to deal with complex functionality or smaller commercial apps that have a tighter budget for development. Low-code with their extensive component library can be extended to high-demand apps that help critical business operations. They are also a better no-code alternative for integrating with other apps and external APIs, connecting to multiple data sources, and for systems with more sophisticates IT security requirements.


Speed: Low-code offers the advantage of more customization options, and thus also requires more training and learning. It is much faster than traditional development but still requires more time for, development, and deployment compared to no code. No-code is faster to construct because it is extremely configurable and plug-and-play only. It also does away with the chance of potential errors introduced by hand coding and thus, testing time is also decreased.
