Drag & Drop: Low Code Unplugged
With this podcast our aim is to increase awareness and appreciation of Low Code and its impact and benefits to the market, and how early adoption is giving a competitive edge to businesses worldwide. Low Code is the future of software development but what is Low Code without its Developers, so this season I will be speaking to all levels of developers across the globe who have taken the career choice of working with Low Code platforms. There is a severe shortage of resources in this area and we are looking to help bridge that gap by raising interest and awareness amongst Developers to look at this exciting technology.
