Low-code means that an application provides a way to perform simple and quick customizations usually via scripting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But some vendors have stretched just what &#8220;low-code&#8221; means.  Tools are being marketed as &#8220;low-code&#8221; when they are in fact simply APIs or libraries that require developers proficient in Java, Angular or some other framework to be able to sufficiently use them.  The &#8220;low-code&#8221; tool might reduce the amount of time to develop an application from scratch, but many companies don&#8217;t want to make a sizable investment in custom development or a development investment of any size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/adrianbridgwater\/?originalSubdomain=uk\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/adrianbridgwater\/?originalSubdomain=uk\">Adrian Bridgwater<\/a>, journalist at ComputerWeekly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/blog\/CW-Developer-Network\/Slack-tech-guru-Low-code-is-dead-long-life-solution-driven-apps\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/blog\/CW-Developer-Network\/Slack-tech-guru-Low-code-is-dead-long-life-solution-driven-apps\">wrote that<\/a> &#8220;low code as most know it today is on its way out. We\u2019ve entered the next, more focused phase of low code platforms \u2013 one that\u2019s template-, solution- and outcome-driven. While low code vendors may think people are excited to build with low code tools, there\u2019s a much larger cohort of people that just have a problem they\u2019re looking to solve. Now, we\u2019re getting to the extremes of template-driven low code. It\u2019s really not about users wanting low code tools to be easier; they don\u2019t want the tool at all. What they do want is the outcome to be easier to achieve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
