The Next Big Thing in Low Code Development

We live in a thriving fast-paced era driven by a generation that defines time directly proportional to productivity and profitability. This mindset has led to many technological advancements in software development. One such technological advancement is the conception of what is now popularly known as RAD or Rapid Application Development tools. This central idea makes software development much faster and more accessible.

Low code and no code platforms are the first generation RAD tools. And they have extensively paved the way in revolutionizing the process of software development as we know it today. It is stated by Gartner that low code will be behind over 65% of app development activities by 2024.


What is Low Code?

Low code has become a popular term. But still many people don’t know what is low code? Low code is a software application development that is an entirely fresh approach to rapid software development. It takes on software development on a visual approach, expecting minimal to no technical knowledge at all from its participants. According to Mendix, a low code software platform company, 24% of low code users initially had zero programming experience when they started. Quite an impressive feat, am I right?

With that being said, low code platforms have leveraged themselves to libraries that are pre-built for different functionalities. They can be easily dragged and dropped in a graphical interface and used accordingly. Also, making complex applications is more accessible with low code. Its visual environment connects to the backends using APIs and allows custom coding as well. And this is what makes them different from no code development.
