Low-Code/No-Code platforms enable users to create applications quickly without extensive coding knowledge, transforming software development accessibility. Low-Code allows some coding for customization, while No-Code is entirely visual, catering to users with no programming skills. Both approaches offer benefits like rapid development and cost efficiency, but differ in complexity, customization, and scalability.

Low-Code/No-Code Platforms

Agenda
• Introduction to LC/NC
• Comparison
• Benefits
• Challenges
• Tools & Platforms
• Use Cases
• Future Trends
Background
• Building software used to be a long and complex
process that required advanced coding skills.
• With low-code/no-code platforms, anyone can
create applications quickly and easily—without
needing to be a professional developer.
• Low-code and no-code are changing the way
businesses and individuals develop software.
• They help speed up the process, reduce costs, and
make app development more accessible to
everyone.
• While low code allows some coding for
customization, no code is completely visual, requiring
no programming at all.
Introduction to Low-Code
• Low-Code platforms allow users to develop apps with minimal
hand-coding using drag-and-drop tools.
• Low-code platforms provide a framework where users (even
those without strong programming backgrounds) can build
applications.
• These platforms include built-in modules, components, and
templates to help users structure their applications quickly.
• Examples include Microsoft PowerApps, OutSystems, and
Mendix.
• Users can select and move pre-built elements (like
buttons, forms, charts) into place instead of writing code.
Introduction to No-Code
• No-Code platforms require no programming
knowledge and are ideal for business users and
citizen developers.
• These platforms are designed to be entirely visual.
Users can build applications by:
• Dragging and dropping components
• Configuring logic with menus and forms
• Using templates or pre-built modules
Benefits of Low-code Development

• Visual Development Environment


• Drag and Drop
• Fast Development
• Rapid Iteration
• Integration with Existing Systems
Application Areas of Low-code
Development
• Web-and-mobile development
• Business process automation
• IoT development
• Data visualization
• Data analysis
When to Use Low Code?

• Low-code is used mainly in situations where coding is necessary,


but the process needs to be speed up. It is best suited for
companies and developers who want to move projects along very
quickly with a degree of flexibility.
• You Need Customization – If your project requires custom features
or integrations beyond what a no-code platform offers.
• Developers Are Available – If your team has some coding
knowledge but wants to save time by using pre-built components.
• Scalability Is Important – If you are building an application that
needs to grow and handle more users or data in the future.
• You Want Faster Development – If you need to quickly create and
deploy applications while keeping the option to refine or expand
them later.
• Enterprise-Level Applications – If your business needs internal
tools, workflow automation, or customer-facing applications with
security and compliance in mind.
Low-Code Tools
• OutSystems
• Mendix
• Microsoft Power Apps
What is No-Code Development?
• No-Code Development is an approach to software
development without the need for coding.
• Usually, no-code development creates applications
that are simple and basic in their primary
functionalities.
• Such applications can be quickly pushed to users,
require minimal maintenance, and are also an agile
application for changing and updates. Such
applications are, as a norm, those imparting a
graphical user interface (GUI) in simple manner to use
and understand.

Key benefits of No-code Development

• No code development requires minimal


technical knowledge to create
applications.
• It is often faster and cheaper than
traditional software development.
• It is user-friendly and intuitive.
• It is highly customizable and can be
adapted for any purpose.
Application Areas of No-code
Development
• Web and Mobile App Development: Create web and mobile
applications with minimal technical knowledge.
• Business Process Automation: Automate business
processes, such as customer onboarding and billing.
• Data Analysis and Visualization: Create data visualizations
and analysis tools.
• Dashboard and Reporting: Create dashboards and reporting
tools.
• Data Integration: Integrate data from multiple sources and
create data-driven applications.
• Workflow Management: Used to create workflow
management applications.
• eCommerce: Used to create eCommerce applications.
When to Use No Code?
• No-code is the best choice when you want to create applications
without any coding knowledge. It is designed for users who need
a simple, fast, and cost-effective way to build functional
applications without technical expertise. Use No-Code:
• You Have No Coding Experience – If you or your team members do
not have programming skills but need to build applications.
• You Need a Quick Solution – If you want to create a simple app,
website, or workflow automation in a short time.
• Budget Is Limited – If hiring developers is too expensive, no-code
tools allow you to build apps without technical costs.
• For Prototyping – If you need to test an idea without full
development.
• For Internal Business Tools – If you need to automate workflows,
manage data, or create dashboards for your business operations.
No-Code Tools
• Bubble
• Appgyver
• Airtable
• Glide
Use Case: Enterprise Apps
• Internal tools
• HR systems
• Finance dashboards
Use Case: Automation
• Process automation
• Workflow creation
• Integration with APIs
