It’s now the dawn of the planet of no-code ap(e)ps!
No-code—what is all the hype all about? Well, simply put, it lets you build web and mobile applications, websites, and more - without writing a single line of code. It is considered a new big chapter in the digital transformation that we are witnessing. With no-code, an average business user, even one with no tech predisposition, can create and ship stuff that previously only specialists could.
Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, maker, indie hacker, solopreneur, or already one, no code conferences provide a great opportunity to get involved in the no code communities and learn from the best.
