Low code no code – An Introduction

If you are from IT industries, you might heard about this term LCNC or Low code no code platforms. If not, its your time! Because there is a huge demand in last couple of years and experts see this demand will increase for LCNC platforms.

I’m just sharing a link of a report published by ET recently regarding the demand of LCNC platforms: Click here

I really want to make this blog as short as possible and that gives you an idea what is LCNC. So, I need to explain just 2 things:

  1. How legacy application development platforms works
  2. How LCNC platforms works.

How legacy development platforms works?

We are taking an example for development of web application, and we choose PHP framework for development activities. For that, we need to have developers who has an expertise in

  • PHP Framework
  • Front end – HTML5/React/Js
  • Backend – MySql, Oracle db

We need to write code from the scratch for our application, for all of these technologies. This results a good amount of time and efforts to achieve some business goals

How LCNC platforms works

The LCNC platforms has already automated allof the above painful operations! Which means a single developer who has a knowledge on any LCNC platform can make an application in really agile way! The single developer can:

  • Create front end
  • Create database structure
  • Create backend

This resulted a minimum effort and time to achieve some business goals. As the name – LCNC means low code no code, we don’t need to write codes or achive the goal by minimum coding activity.

All of the logics can be written/designed in visualised manner via drag and drop, and drawing flow diagrams to have business logic and validation! – ofcourse the code will be generated in background automatically, depending on the LCNC platform.

Just see below how a business logic will be implemented in LCNC platforms, its that much easy!

Business logic

Definition of LCNC: LCNC is a set of tools that developers can use to build applications in a visual drag-and-drop interface, including a complete user interface, integrations, data management, and logic.

Some examples of LCNC platforms: Mendix, Outsystems, PowerApps etc
