A Definitive Guide To Low Code Development

The technology affects value activities themselves or allows companies to gain competitive advantage by exploiting changes in competitive scope. One may get confused with these large pools of technologies to choose for best software development. Accordingly, here we came up with the new technology for web and mobile app development which is Low-code development. This technology is gaining popularity for its ability to build apps for both web and mobile applications and also to deploy applications faster and with minimal hand-coding.

With the use of visual modeling in a graphical interface to build and configure applications, developers can skip the infrastructure and re-implementation of patterns that can make it troublesome to develop and go straight to the unique 10% of an application. Low code is to the software in such a way that assembly lines are to the auto industry. Both automate the manual tasks that are generally time consuming and complex to carry out by the people. Let us discuss more about – What is low-code?

What Is Low-Code Development?
Low code is a visual development approach to develop an application. It allows developers to build apps for web and mobile regardless of experience with the help of drag and drop components and model driven logic through a graphic user interface. It mitigate non-technical developers from writing code and also supports professional developers to carry out tedious tasks in application development. And hence developers can create, iterate and release applications in very less time as compared to traditional methods. Low-code application development allows development of all types of apps for different kinds of use cases.

A low-code development platform looks like:

Application lifecycle manager- Automated tools to build, debug, deploy, and also to maintain the application.
A visual IDE- An environment for visually defining the UIs, workflows, and also data models of your application.
Connectors to back-ends or services- Automatically handles data structures, storage, and retrieval.
No two low-code tools are exactly the same. Some focus on the business needs small work to do with actual application development.

Low-Code Platforms Classified By Different Users-
Low code platforms are most advantageous for developers or business users. But it is complicated to find a platform that does both the things. If the platform tries to improve developers’ speed, it get complicated for normal people. If it tries to ease the coding for anyone, then developers can not get sufficient customization.

1. For Developers-
The main purpose of a low-code platform for developers is to reduce the development time. With the use of virtual interfaces these low-code platforms reduce manual effort and time required for coding but will need some coding requirements to build an application. These platforms are ideal for developers to create complex apps.
