What is Low Code? What is No Code? A Primer with Low Code Examples
Much has been written about the rise of citizen developers (anyone outside of IT who builds business applications) as empowered by a new slate of Low Code platforms. According to a recent survey by Information Today, 76% reported that at least some portion of their applications were developed outside of IT. Addressing a persistent lack of developer resources, Low Code gives business units the ability to create applications with fewer handoffs that allows faster time to production. Low Code platforms enable these benefits by providing citizen developers with reusable drag and drop components and flowcharts for business logic that allow them to easily create applications that meet specific business and/or customer requirements.
