Front-End Frameworks Enable Better Dev Collaboration
The general public often thinks about software development in terms of a lone software developer hacking away tirelessly at their keyboard. Of course, that is an anachronism, at best. What is true is that collaboration among software engineers, especially with their colleagues in IT operations which evolved into DevOps, has become the norm for rolling […]

At Low-Code/No-Code Virtual Summit, taking place on Nov. 18 at 9 a.m. ET, luminaries of leading organizations in the low-code community will share valuable insights on their […]
Top Misconceptions About Low-Code Development
Accelerating the pace of development has become one of the biggest goals in DevOps. After all, having teams speed the creation and modification of applications is supposed to be one of the primary advantages of DevOps pipelines. Yet, far too many DevOps teams run into speed bumps that can derail the process. For some, turning […]
Dual-Track and Low-Code’s Excellent Adventure
Digital transformation can be a bogus journey. Here’s how low-code and dual-track transformation efforts can help. Large-scale enterprise digital transformation can take a while. Transformation initiatives like cloud migration, mainframe upgrades or refactoring monolithic systems could easily take five to seven years. Yet, this slow pace is at direct odds with today’s digital innovation standards […]
DARPA Enlists GrammaTech to Apply AI to Reverse Engineer Code
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded a research contract to GrammaTech for low code technology that will make it possible for end users to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) without requiring intervention from the original software developer. GrammaTech’s AI tool, dubbed ReMath, aims to ease application updates by automatically inferring high-level mathematical representations […]
Low-Code Opens API Integration Potential for Citizen Developers
APIs have an accessibility problem. Could a low-code API approach make them more inclusive and accessible for citizen developers? Most software today integrates with third-party SaaS. TomTom for geolocation. Stripe for payment. Twilio for SMS. Kairos for facial recognition. AWS for NLP … the list goes on. Whatever function you’re looking for, there’s probably an […]
Low-Code To Become Commonplace in 2021
A new study finds 85% of engineer leads predict low-code and no-code will soon become common New findings from an Internal-endorsed study suggest 2020’s software development challenges will undoubtedly carry into 2021. Many businesses are making immediate transitions to a digital-only economy, forcing a ton of new app development requirements. Yet, hiring top engineering talent […]
Demystifying the Low-Code Category
The low-code category is estimated to grow substantially in the coming years. By 2024, Gartner projects 75% of large enterprises will have adopted four low-code or no-code tools for both IT application and citizen development needs. But what exactly is low-code, and what are the scenarios in which it is needed? Low-code, like so much […]
How To Foster a Culture of Citizen Developers
What can leaders do to encourage a thriving environment of citizen developers in their organization? Over the last several months, businesses of all sizes have had to embrace rapid change, as have their workforces. When it comes to IT departments, even before the pandemic many were fielding requests to implement new technology, customize solutions to […]
5 Steps to Avoid Shadow IT Around Low-Code
Shadow IT is far more pervasive than most CIOs think. Cisco Systems estimates that a typical firm has 15 to 22 times more cloud applications than authorized by the IT department. While shadow IT solves problems in the short-term for a select few, undocumented software ultimately encourages tribal thinking and siloed departments. This can stunt […]
Low-Code: An Oasis During Developer Drought
Key insights from Mendix’s 2020 Developer Drought Index You may have heard that Silicon Valley is in the midst of a developer drought. But the Valley is not alone; developer talent across the U.S. heartland has dried up. In fact, the top 10 U.S. counties with the highest developer demand per capita aren’t even in […]
Mendix Injects More AI to Accelerate Low-Code Development
The rate at which low-code applications are built and deployed will accelerate as developers begin to rely more on artificial intelligence (AI) to write code. The summer 2019 release of the Mendix low-code platform includes a revamped instance of Mendix Assist, which employs machine learning algorithms to make coding recommendations. Those algorithms have been trained […]
Low-Code Has Taken Development by Storm. Why Not the Web?
For more than a decade, development tools increasingly have made their way into the hands of less-technical people. On the web in particular, we’ve eliminated the webmaster as the middleman with content management systems and moved progressively toward a model where non-technical users could assemble their own sites with little to no coding experience of […]
