Why train in Nocode?

In the last few years, exchanges around Nocode have intensified. More and more companies are adopting a Nocode-first logic for the development of their technological projects and are contributing more and more to the democratization of this concept.

Microsoft and Google have also embraced Nocode with their PowerApps and AppSheet solutions respectively. They are giving a strong signal to the entire software development market about the promise of Nocode.

Debates between "coders" and "no-coders" have also multiplied. Each one wanting to preach his parish 👀.

Without judging the learning of programming which remains essential for our economy, the objective here is to show how training in Nocode is a serious alternative.

What is Nocode and its advantages

Nocode refers to the set of tools that allow their users to create technological projects through a visual interface without having to write a line of code.

This is why Nocode is becoming so popular today. The market has grown enormously and the development capabilities are huge. You will find tools for all types of projects:

• Showcase or e-commerce site with Webflow or Shopify for example.
• Process automation with Zapier, Make or n8n.
• Internal tools with Bubble. 
• Realization of PoC (Proof of Concept) or MVP (Minimum Viable Product). To be clearer, we are talking about a first version of the product in order to test the market and verify if it is relevant to invest more or rather review the list of user needs.

Nocode is an efficient way for companies to develop projects with lower investments than with code. The advantages are numerous:

• Faster
• More customizable
• Easier to handle
• Less expensive to develop because it is faster and there is no need for expensive devs.

If you want to know more, we have written a more complete article on the subject.

Urgent need for technical profiles

The market today is facing a great shortage of technical skills in software development. The demand for application development far exceeds the number of available developers.

According to a Gartner study, 500 million applications will be created by 2025. But only 0.3% of the world's population can code. US Labor Statistics estimates that there will be a shortage of 1.4 million software engineers in the US alone by 2021.

This is why it is important to find a way to train our talents more quickly on technical skills. This is why Nocode appears to be essential today to answer this problem.

Moreover, according to a Gartner study, 80% of the applications developed in the world in 2024 will be built using Nocode tools.

A shorter learning curve in Nocode

The huge advantage of Nocode tools comes from their ease of use compared to what could be done in code. Creating a first version of your website or mobile application has never been so easy.

Of course, it is always possible to add code via these tools to develop a very specific functionality that is not yet available, but this remains at the margin.

So for whom does this rapid rise in skills benefit?

To business creators

Depending on the nature of the project, it has long been necessary to have a technical person on the founding team of a company. But these profiles are rare and very expensive. This is a huge barrier and many ideas never see the light of day for this reason alone.

Nocode answers this problem and it is no longer systematically necessary to have a technical person in the team from the beginning of the adventure.

To companies already structured

Very often, business teams (Marketing, Sales, Success Manager, Finance...) need help from their technical teams to give them a hand.

For example, create a landing page for the marketing team or make some changes to the website. Or automate processes to improve the productivity of the team.

But very often, the product and tech teams have no bandwidth because they are 100% mobilized for the technological part of the project.

Nocode also allows business teams to be more autonomous and productive.

To freelancers

It's well known in the freelancing world. The administrative part can quickly become a headache for many and consume a lot of time.

Nocode has become very well known thanks to this community because it has allowed many to automate a good number of tasks such as editing quotes and invoices for their customers.

The Nocode at the service of his personal projects

Because there is not only work in life! You could one day create an association with some friends and decide to create a website and integrate a ticketing service to sell some tickets for your event?

You could imagine to get all the participants in a database to sort them in order to contact them more easily the following year? Tools like Folk allow you to do this very quickly and easily.

Have you always found Google Drive to be convenient... but not so much? Notion can be your perfect ally for collaborating with members of this association.

Whether you want to start your own business, join a project, freelance or work on a personal project or help friends, Nocode is the quick answer to all these situations.

This is the real advantage over learning to code, which requires a lot of energy and patience before you can expect to make good, quality work.
