In the previous post Create MVPs - 3x faster, 50% cheaper, we discussed what an MVP is and why you should create it with No-Code. Now, we will discuss what exactly this whole no-code is, how it can help us, how it works and why it is worth taking an interest in it.
As the name suggests, no-code application development is a method of building an application without writing code. This is made possible by no-code platforms that allow developers to drag and drop preconfigured blocks to build mobile and web applications. MVP products and enterprise-class applications.
No-code platforms work a bit like LEGO bricks. Thanks to their use, we can create the application interface (frontend) and what is to happen on the server side (backend). Depending on which part we are currently creating - the process looks a bit different.
Let's start with the frontend. When we start developing applications, the interface looks a bit like a blank document. Then we have to drag and drop relevant and interesting elements to this blank page, such as buttons, graphics, texts, inputs, etc. Then we need to set properties of those elements like: lengths, width, colors and more. Thanks to this, we can create the entire user interface. This is called the WYSIWYG method. What we see is a living effect of our work. Underneath - plain HTML, CSS or JavaScript code, creating the interface of our application.
When we create a backend, which is what should happen when: the user clicks on something, when an action is to be performed on the server side, a record is to be created in the database, etc. then we just drag the appropriate action / function blocks so that they create workflows.
(Note: actions performed after user interaction can also be performed on the frontend side, e.g. displaying an alert, switching to another page, etc.)
Workflow is what you want to happen step by step when, for example, I click the X. Thanks to that underneath, we are actually structuring the code (the code is "inside" these action / function blocks).
We created the application without using a line of code, but underneath us, the platform created all the code, which, when properly processed, creates our application.
