Develop without programming: it's possible with no-code!

The health crisis and the rise of no-code/low-code.

For two years, the tech world has been facing a real accelerating the digital transformation of businesses. It is one of the main consequences of the health crisis, business leaders, whether digital or not, have turned to new solutions for develop their business and improve internal collaboration within their teams: digital solutions. The budgets devoted to digital transformation, both in terms of infrastructure, applications and security, have been strengthened.

According to AppDynamics, an American publisher who conducted nearly 1,000 interviews with IT professionals, 74% technologists said that digital transformation projects, usually validated on more than 1 year, were approved in a few weeks. And this is because of the health crisis. 71% of them also indicate that some projects have been implemented in a few weeks, instead Of”months or years that it would have taken before the pandemic“. In other words,”no time for comprehensive proof-of-concept planning and testing cycles“, summarizes the study.

Thus, the pressure on project delivery deadlines, the absence of internal IT strategies, the lack of human resources for development, the implementation of teleworking have largely contributed to theevolution of the low-code/no-code market.

From low-code to no-code.

By using no-code, you don't need to have web development skills. No-code tools are pre-coded for any of us to use them, they do not require the Computer language proficiency. No-code masks the complexity of an application's source code from users. The source code corresponds to all the instructions of a computer program written in a computer programming language. To understand the computer language, learning is necessary and not everyone has this knowledge. Coding training courses are mostly expensive and complex.

Thus, in recent years, alternative solutions have been put in place to make digital creation accessible to as many people as possible while freeing themselves from traditional programming. Today, it is possible to create websites or applications simply thanks to predefined, ready-to-use and customizable templates.

“Low-code/no-code technologies help businesses of all sizes meet the challenge of digital transformation, putting tools in the hands of business users to automate and innovate.“says tech industry analyst Rebecca Wettemann.

As mentioned just before, there are also numerous tools called Low-code (little programming). Low-code is used in the same way as no-code, to create websites and applications. The difference is that with low-code, the user uses the programming language in such a way as to have more fields of possibilities than with no-code. The interest is to Save time, because with low code, the user does not code their platform from A to Z like traditional developers. As a result, development time is reduced and businesses can focus on The most important tasks.

One of the best known examples using low-code is WordPress. Surely you have all already heard of it, it is a CMS (Content Management System) allowing you to create personalized websites. The main advantage of these tools lies in the acceleration of time to market, followed by a reduction in development costs applications or websites.
