Are you someone who likes to “tinker with technology” but don’t know anything about writing code or programming languages? This class will satisfy that excitement by diving headfirst into a number of well-known Low Code/No Code platforms and their no-code tools without the perquisite of coding skills. Showing you the fundamentals to get you interested to see more.
We will cover exciting topics like data modeling best practices, creating a solid and consistent user experience and building automations and workflows your users will love. We will also touch on some of the LCNC strategies in support of integrations (leveraging open APIs) and discuss strategies for managing data sources.
In the first course (Platform Product Essentials) of this certificate, we discussed some of the history behind LCNC platforms and the roles of the key players that support your success when building applications.
This class is all about app development. Students will be asked to dive into a LCNC tool and define and build a LCNC app using the methodologies provided to create no-code solutions. For this class we will dive into the functionality of your own app. You can come out of this course calling yourself an app builder or, even better, a citizen developer!
As part of this class, we will be assigned a common use case and build an app front/dashboard. Here we will focus on the front-end and back-end perspective through low-code app development and different no-code softwares. These are intentionally designed so that non-programmers, who have never written a single line of code, can still develop.
