Plenty of people know what they want their applications to do, but don&#8217;t know how to code.  That is where No-Code and Low-Code Development Platforms come in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll be moderating a panel on March 30th at <a href=\"https:\/\/venturecafephoenix.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Venture Cafe Phoenix<\/a> to introduce the community to No-Code and Low-Code.  As part of that talk we wanted to provide some links to additional resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No-Code and Low-Code platforms are tools that let people build applications with a graphical interface instead of typing a computer language into an editor. You graphically create the user interface using drag-and-drop and forms. You use the same interface to tell your application what to do with the information users provide.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Primary Uses for No-Code and Low Code tools? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Build a product for a startup or prototype a new application \n<ul>\n<li>Many non-technical entrepreneurs start their software business with a No-Code or Low-Code prototype or even a minimum viable product (MVP).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This allows you to define your product, test product market fit, and get customer feedback without hiring a development team. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automate workflow for small business\n<ul>\n<li>Small businesses don&#8217;t have to hire consultants to improve their efficiency and automate repetitive or complex tasks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Just tell the program what your process is and build your application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect databases and automate processes and connect data for an enterprise.\n<ul>\n<li>Enterprises can avoid spending thousands of dollars, and endless meetings, by having an external group or consultant automate processes or connecting different data silos. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Users of the processes can create their own workflows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No-Code and Low-Code Fundamentals<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/digitization-3552254_1920-1024x683.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/digitization-3552254_1920-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/digitization-3552254_1920-768x512.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/digitization-3552254_1920-1536x1024.webp 1536w,https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/digitization-3552254_1920.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/digitization-3552254_1920-1024x683.jpg\" height=\"175\" width=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/digitization-3552254_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/digitization-3552254_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/digitization-3552254_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/digitization-3552254_1920-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/digitization-3552254_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" class=\"wp-image-41346 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"No-Code and Low-Code Resources, Figure 2\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Wikipedia:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/No-code_development_platform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">No-Code<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Low-code_development_platform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Low-Code<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NoCode.Tech\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nocode.tech\/article\/what-is-no-code\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Explainer on Zero-code, No-code, Low-code, and more<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explore Nocode Tutorial: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nocode.tech\/lessons\/internal-build-a-task-management-tool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Build a Simple Task Management Tool<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Microsoft Power Automate\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/powerautomate.microsoft.com\/en-us\/guidedtour\/power-platform\/power-automate\/1\/1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A guided tour for automating Microsoft tools<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources on the Web for No-Code and Low-Code Platforms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nocode.tech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NoCode.Tech<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li>Neutral site &#8211;
