Low-Code
Definition
Development platforms that minimize hand-coding through visual interfaces and templates.
In Plain English
Low-code is like a meal kit—you do some cooking, but the hard prep work is done for you.
Real-World Example
Platforms like OutSystems or Retool let developers build faster by providing pre-built components and integrations.
Why It Matters for Your Work
Low-code accelerates development while allowing customization that pure no-code tools cannot provide.
Common Mistake
Confusing low-code with no-code. Low-code still typically requires developer involvement.
