Are you someone who likes to “tinker with technology” but don’t know anything about writing code? This class will satisfy that excitement by diving head first into a number of well known Low Code/No Code (LCNC) platforms. Showing you just enough to get you interested to see more.
We will cover exciting topics like data modeling best practices, creating a solid and consistent user experience and building automations your users will love. We will also touch on some of the LCNC strategies in support of integrations and discuss strategies for managing data sources.
