No-Code/Low-Code Programming
Low-code and No-code (LCNC) are programming environments that enable you to design and develop applications using a graphical, drag-drop, interface instead of having to write code. Low-code requires some additional programming using a high-level language while No-code requires no additional programming at all.
LCNC tools usually include pre-configured modules, logic, templates, and connectors, customzied for specific domains or application patterns such as CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations which simply involve managing data in a database.
LCNC programming environments have the potential to reduce the amount of time spent on development, enabling accelerated delivery of business applications. Another benefit is that a wider range of people can contribute to the application’s development, not only those with coding skills. However, they must at least be aware of basic computing concepts, program constructs, and data structures to be able to use these tools.
We will be using a low-code programming environment named Node-RED in our projects as an alternative to writing microcontroller code.
