The platform may focus on design and development of a particular kind of application: such as databases, business processes, or user interfaces such as web applications. Such platforms may produce entirely operational applications, or require additional coding for specific situations. Low-code development platforms reduce the amount of traditional hand-coding**, enabling accelerated delivery of business applicationst,"* according to Wikipedia. These low-code apps are quickly taking over as the development method for many applications that would normally be coded by hand. Low-code development tools create useful apps by configuring them interactively with little or no programming required. Depending who you ask, these low-code apps are either a blessing or a curse. Many directors, managers, and C-Level people love the idea of these low-code apps. Whatever helps get useful apps into their users' hands faster and cheaper... they are all for it. But some IBM i developers have a different thought process on these low-code apps. They have questions about the day-to-day use of low-code app builders, including: - Will I lose the ability to control the fine details of my app when using a "builder?" - Will this tool take away my job, or make my job seem less valuable? - How do I handle those users that are very picky and demand that minute details be built into the app? Let's discuss each one in detail: [Read More](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/are-low-code-apps-good-for-ibm-i-developers) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/are-low-code-apps-good-for-ibm-i-developers#comments-listing) Topics: [RPG Development](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/rpg-development), [Application modernization](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/application-modernization), [IBM i applications](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/ibm-i-applications), [Node.js](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/node-js), [Profound.js](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/profound-js), [IBM i](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/ibm-i), [RPG](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/rpg), [AS400 modernization](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/as400-modernization), [IBM i Modernization](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/ibm-i-modernization), [Agile modernization](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/agile-modernization), [iSeries](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/iseries), [Legacy Modernization](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/legacy-modernization), [Profound UI](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/profound-ui), [AS 400](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/as-400), [AS\_400](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/as_400), [Profound Logic](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/profound-logic) [Previous](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/profound-ui/page/3) [All posts](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/all) [Next](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/topic/profound-ui/page/5) Search Blog ### Subscribe to Blog Updates **....and get our "How to Get Full Business Buy-In for Your Modernization Project" ebook!** ![business buy-in ebook](https://blog.profoundlogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mockup.png?width=621&name=mockup.png "business buy-in ebook") ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic -
