What\u2019s your top development priority? Is it managing your application\u2019s technically complex backend? Do you need UI\/UX that\u2019s completely customizable? Or is the priority to take it live fast? That\u2019s a business decision that only you can take. In this article, we\u2019ll run through the coding options which can deliver the results that you require.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, what are no-code platforms?<\/b><\/p>\n

In simple words \u2013 they are drag-and-drop programming platforms. A no-code platform essentially uses a visual development interface to enable non-technical users to develop apps or websites by dragging and dropping software applications. You read that right \u2013 absolutely no-code needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With low-code and no-code development, you use a WYSIWYG platform to drag and drop elements to create your app quickly and efficiently as opposed to traditional coding or hand coding, which requires software developers to customize elements with code in a development language to build an app or website.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Wanstrath, the CEO of GitHub, calls no-code the future of development.<\/b><\/p>\n

And Wanstrath isn\u2019t the only one who thinks it\u2019s the future. Market research firm <\/span>Forrester<\/span><\/a> predicts that the no-code development platform market will hit $21.2 billion by 2022, while a Gartner forecast says more than half of medium-to-large enterprises will adopt low-code, no-code platforms as part of their overall IT strategy by next year. Two years ago, Google acquired AppSheet, an eight-year-old no-code mobile application-building platform to empower \u2018citizen developers\u2019 so to speak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is low-code\/no-code so popular?<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s because almost no coding experience is required for application development. So, in an age when where demand for software exceeds the number of coders, no-code development tools would help organizations bypass the skills shortage.<\/span><\/p>\n
