Low-code is a visual approach to application development. It enables developers of varying experience levels to create web and mobile applications using drag-and-drop components and model-driven logic through a graphic user interface. Mendix is among the fastest-growing platforms that enable low-code enthusiasts to put their software ideas into practice without having to write much code.

Once you have your working application ready, you will learn how to enhance your application with custom business logic and rules. Throughout the chapters, you’ll find out how to defend your apps against bad data, troubleshoot and debug your app, and finally, connect your app with real-world business platforms. The book is filled with walkthrough examples, real-world scenarios, and explanations of the tools needed to help you build low-code apps successfully.
