Well this article is about Low code- It’s a visualized approach to software development.
There’s a need for new software applications for business purpose and placed their demands on software developers for creating custom applications in volume and other unique needs.
What is Low code ?
Low code development is a platform for development environment where application software is being created through a graphical user interface (GUI). It may require extra coding for some solutions and may produce operational applications.
Here large number of people can contribute for the application development as it can lower the cost for setup and maintenance, etc.
