This document provides an overview of low-code development. It defines low-code as a visual development method using drag-and-drop components that requires less coding than traditional programming by focusing on code reuse. Low-code helps address the shortage of developers by making the development process faster, more efficient and easier. While low-code requires some coding skills, it has greater appeal to developers than those with no experience. The benefits of low-code include increased speed, reduced errors, improved efficiency and collaboration between IT and business teams.

Mission statement LEAD Resources support people, organisations and governments to be the best they can be using tools, practices and techniques that are world class. OVERVIEW ➔ What is Low-code? ➔ Why Low-code? ➔ Who is Low-code for? LOW-CODE DEVELOPMENT ➔ What are the benefits of Low-code? ➔ Low-code resources. WHAT IS LOW-CODE DEVELOPMENT? Low-code development is a class of technology that provides users with graphical tools for designing an application or system along with required input, output, and business logic. To put it more simply, Low-code is a visual software development method where users use drag-and-drop components for development. Low-code uses much less coding than a traditional programming, instead it focuses on the reuse of code. WHY LOW-CODE? The appetite for software in many businesses is growing constantly and there aren’t enough developers to satiate it. Professional developers are few and far between. By all accounts, the disparity between surging digital demand and the supply of experienced developers is only set to increase. Low-code development helps solve the demand and supply problem of software development by making the process faster, more efficient and relatively easy to traditional development. Most employers find it challenging to find and hire technical talent, eventually forced to settle for subpar candidates even when they don’t meet the job description requirements. The low-code development approach is simple enough for beginners to build high value apps and sophisticated enough to meet the needs of professional developers tackling complex challenges. Low-code approach eases the workload on developers and engages other users in collaboration so as to work and build faster. WHO NEEDS LOW-CODE? The thing to note about low-code development is that even though they require less code, they still require some code. Low-code development has greater appeal to developers or IT specialists than someone with no coding experience. Low-code development requires a significant amount of experience in coding or, at the very least, basic programming foundations.
