No code approaches aim to support business users in developing and maintaining their own applications, where low code simplifies the developer’s work and makes them more productive. Both approaches enable faster development at lower costs. As the distinction between these approaches is
becoming smaller; business users and developers can team up and use them together. CCI has adopted low code and no code for developing applications.
In the Forbes article The Low-Code/No-Code Movement: More Disruptive Than You Realize, Jason Bloomberg describes the distinction between no code and low code as perceived by the industry:
In the No-Code corner are the “citizen developers” – business users who can build functional but generally limited apps without having to write a line of code. The Low-Code corner, in contrast, centers on professional developers, streamlining and simplifying their work – delivering enterprise-class applications with little or no hand-coding.
Innovation in model-driven approaches and artificial intelligence will make the distinction between low code and no code disappear, argued Jason Bloomberg. This will lead to “tools simple enough for citizen developers and powerful enough for professional development teams”, he said, which will decrease the need for software developers:
If you’re a coder who loves to code, all is not lost – but as this trend takes hold, there is less likely to be a place for you on an enterprise development team.
