No code platforms have become incredibly popular, largely because almost anyone (whether you’re technical or non-technical) can learn to use these tools to quickly create apps or web pages. No-code platforms like Airtable and Bubble will never fully replace actual programming languages like JavaScript and Python, but they are quickly becoming quicker and cheaper options for many businesses. For beginners, many of these platforms host their own free tutorials to help people get started.
‘No code’ refers to methods and tools used to develop apps and pages without a user needing to understand programming languages. No code platforms make building applications more accessible since you don’t need to know how to code to use them. No code uses drag-and-drop elements to quickly build projects based on pre-built models, which makes it more efficient for people without coding knowledge.
You can build many of the same products with no code platforms, but there are some differences compared to building an app from scratch. The biggest difference is that no code opens up technology for people like business owners who might have various reasons for wanting a simpler way to build an app.
There are disadvantages to using no code platforms. While development happens much quicker, it’s also limited in scope. No code has rigid templates and it can be hard to implement fixes that are outside of the platform’s scope. No code platforms are also notorious for being insecure and easier to breach.
No code and low code are similar in that they allow someone with limited experience to make an app. The difference is that after a product has been designed, low code requires someone with coding knowledge to finish coding it. No code platforms can be used without any coding to create complete projects.
No code is great for business owners because they can build products like databases, web pages, and apps quicker and cheaper than if they had to hire a developer. People that know how to code will sometimes use no code platforms as well. No code can be useful to developers who are simply overwhelmed with a large backlog.
No code has also seen a huge rise in popularity when it comes to developing video games. If you’re a gamer, chances are you’ve heard of platforms like Unity and Unreal Engine. Unity is a popular game engine among indie developers and it has no code elements. While it’s certainly possible to make no code games, there’s still probably going to be coding involved in game development for a long time.
No code is often used by people without coding knowledge, but there are no code development jobs. These jobs are generally listed as no code developer or no code consultant, and they generally require some coding knowledge, such as lower level language.
