What is a No-Code platform?

No-code is a term used to identify tools that enable non-coders to create web and mobile applications.
As its name suggests, visual programming is a paradigm in which programmers don't have to write a single line of code to build the application they want.
No-code or non-code development platforms are integrated development environments (IDE) that allow users to drag and drop the components they wish to include in their application. A no-code platform provides a simple, logical assembly of components that can be used to launch a mobile application or web.

Advantages of codeless development platforms

• Ergonomic and intuitive
• Cost reduction
• Easy to modify
• Increased productivity

The main advantage of a no-code platform is that it's generally easier to use than coding from scratch. They are designed with ergonomics in mind, and are therefore generally intuitive and pleasing to the eye.
No-code development platforms can drastically reduce the time and money required for application creation Web. No coding required - or, at least, very little.

What's more, no-code platforms can be easily modified by company employees rather than programmers, meaning the software can be updated and adjusted as needed, which can boost productivity.

How do you create application prototypes on "no-code" development platforms?

No-code development platforms (NCDPs), such as bubble.io and adalo.com, allow us to do a lot of things without having to write a single line of code.
These frameworks integrate with each other, making it possible to create complex prototypes without having to write code. One of the most popular "no-code" development platforms is bubble.io, which lets you create web applications by dragging and dropping elements into place via their website.

5 no-code development platforms for building apps

• Bubble
• Webflow
• Adalo
• Coda
• Unqork

Code-free tools are changing the way enterprise software is developed. But more than that, they are enabling non-developers to create applications that only developers have traditionally been able to create.
The power of these code-free tools really puts the power of technology in the hands of non-coders, which is of great interest to businesses and will continue to grow in popularity. This trend has only just begun. The no-code lifestyle will eventually become the norm for anyone wishing to create something on the web or with their mobile device.
