Low-Code Revolution

    Low-Code Academy

Come learn about low-code, a fifth generation software development. You have to understand the logic, but no longer have to know the coding language.

This changes the speed, and requirements of developers a lot. One can learn the basics after a few weeks, and people without a technical background will be able to add business value within months.

Business potential also changes; it’s possible to create software for your company very fast, in close collaboration with the business and on a smaller budget. Gartner predicts that, by 2026, around 75% of all new software will be created in low code!

Technology is supposed to be for everyone, though at the moment, technology does not represent everyone. Let’s change that with low code!

The Why: There is a big demand for more automation and digital transformation, and very little inclusion in tech. Low-code offers a solution to both.

Session Key Takeaways:

  • Understand what low code is and what it can do for you
  • How low code can help include underrepresented groups
  • How to get started with low code

This session is for you if…

  • You are working at a business that wants to build or extend in-house software
  • You are looking for the code/platform to serve your future development needs
  • Your company is at the beginning of a digital transformation
  • You are interested in becoming a software developer
