All About App Development With No-Code Platform

If you are head of an IT organization then you know how many requests come for development and maintenance of an application. Application development requires a lot of coding and hence consumes more time. Regardless of whether it is a new app development or fixing errors in existing applications’, there will be a lot of excesses that take weeks or months to wrap up. And when you end up one task, other tasks are already in the queue. It is a never-ending cycle.

Just imagine the app development without need of development knowledge. Is that just imaginary? No. It is possible. No-code development is there to help you with this. Let us see the details of No-code development.

What Is No-Code Development?
No code development platform is a platform through which beginners can create apps with methods such as drag-and-drop, adding application components. Basically it uses a visual development environment.

With this, non-technical business users can easily create their own applications. No code is changing the industry and grabbing the attention of all over the IT industry. One may be confused about the terms no code and low code. Are those terms the same? Let us see.

Difference Between No-Code And Low Code–

Most of you think that low code and no code are interchangeable terms, but they are not. In short, No-code platforms are for business persons who don’t have knowledge of coding. No code uses declarative programming. It is about “What” instead of “How”. With No code you just tell the system what you need and build it. In conventional software application platforms, code represents instructions that tell platforms how to implement the required functionality. With the use of no-code, you define what the app does instead of how it does it.

Low code platforms are also used by non-technical people, but at some point, developers need to finish things. Low code platforms have pre-built functionality that allows users to build desired applications before calling a developer to then code or customize the remainder. In Low code platforms, developers tell the platform- how they want to use the components.

In short:

No code platforms can build software without modifying the underlying codebase.
Low code platforms may require limited amounts of code, that require non-technical users to work together with technical experts or developers during some or all of the development process.

How No-Code Development Works?
You may have wondered about- How no code can work without a single line of code? Here is how- Betty blocks developers write the code that establishes the foundation of visual modeling elements that you can build your applications with. When you build an app with no-code platform you are building code, it’s just hidden, you don’t have to write it.

Betty Blocks stands apart from other no-code platforms by being both simple enough that anybody can use it while flaunting capabilities ground-breaking enough to develop secure, complex, enterprise-grade applications.

In no code, it is not necessary to write a code to develop complex applications, Betty blocks supports JavaScripts or HTML integrations for extra customization.
