Will enterprise developers go loco for low-code, or will the whole concept someday become a no-go?

But where should you start in thinking about … continue reading
Low-code and no-code technologies are growing in popularity, so much that Gartner is predicting that 65% of application development by 2024 will be done using these tools. And why wouldn’t it be?
