Although “low code” and “no code” have become the latest buzzwords in the tech industry, these concepts are actually not new. WordPress and Shopify were among the first low code platforms available and have been around since 2003 and 2004 respectively.
No code platforms contain all the code you would need to create an application. The code is encapsulated into blocks and users create simple applications by connecting various blocks using a simple drag and drop UI. The benefit of no code is that anyone can be trained to use the platform and build simple applications since no coding experience is required. Unfortunately, these platforms are quite limited in what they allow users to develop. This is where low code development comes into play.
