Understanding the core concepts of no-code development

No-code platforms allow for the creation of UIs, backends, and business logic visually, abstracting away the need to write traditional code.

#2about 3 minutes

Key advantages of building applications with no-code

No-code accelerates development and increases productivity, leading to reduced costs and a shorter time to market for new applications.

#3about 2 minutes

Exploring the common disadvantages of no-code platforms

No-code applications can be easier for competitors to replicate and often lead to vendor lock-in or unforeseen technical limitations.

#4about 7 minutes

Why a hybrid of code and no-code is the winning combination

A hybrid approach leverages the speed of no-code for standard features while using code to create unique differentiators and overcome platform limitations.

#5about 4 minutes

Demo part 1: Building a custom API service with code

A custom API service is created and deployed using Node.js to query a database of countries based on a dynamic search pattern.

#7about 7 minutes

Demo part 2: Creating a no-code UI with data binding

A user interface is built visually with an input field and a list, then connected to the custom API service using codeless logic blocks.

#8about 2 minutes

Demo part 3: Testing and refining the hybrid application

The completed application is tested by searching for countries, and the backend code is quickly modified to increase the number of results returned.
