Hello fellow Nocoders,

Welcome to edition 7 of the Nocode landscape news. This Newsletter informs weekly about new tools listed in the nocode landscape:

Introduction

This weeks newsletter contains a really important term in the No-code space: “Citizen Developer”.

So ok what is a Citizen Developer?

When you want to develop software you need a technical team , which knows how to write software code and how to rollout the developed software.

In addition to that from the customer perspective, if internal or extern customer, you need someone who knows the regarding processes, but in most cases this is not a technical person and is even not able to communication to the technical team.

That is why you you need someone who translates between the technical team and the professional process person.

So in the full code work there are a lot of people involved just to write a few code lines.

But what if you can just teach the person, which knows the processes how to build own applications and workflows by using Nocode Tools? The amount of necessary ressources would be just a fraction of the initial ressources.

Yes, you got it. This is a citizen developer 😁 

You would like to teach citizen developers in your own organisation or would like to learn how to build Apps and workflows on your own?
