No. No, it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n
Because to code means that could be spending your time building a finished product only to realise at the end that you\u2019ve missed an integral part of what your app or website needed to do.<\/p>\n
Or worse, your test subjects aren\u2019t responding to a feature and you have to start again.<\/p>\n
And to not code means that you\u2019re just a cookie-cutter away from being same-same, with nothing that differentiates you from the competition, who is probably outgunning you on technical specs and know-how.<\/p>\n
The answer is therefore, quite obviously, to low-code<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n Low-Code has all of the capabilities of code and none of the same-sameness of no-code.<\/p>\n It is literally 5 times faster than traditional coding, cutting out costs and time.<\/p>\n With the added benefit of quickly getting to a workable model that can be tested and readjusted accordingly.<\/p>\n In a nutshell, it\u2019s a more visual approach to coding, making use of drag-and-drop components.<\/p>\n You can read more about it here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Low-code is so good that Gartner predicts a 65% domination on all app developments by 2024.<\/p>\n There are, at the moment, several platforms offering low-code, with OutSystems<\/a><\/strong>, Sybrin Nitro<\/a><\/strong> and Microsoft Power Platform<\/a><\/strong> leading the pack.<\/p>\n As it so happens, South African low-code experts – JustSolve<\/strong><\/em> – has partnered with all three, because each has its own pro\u2019s and cons when it comes to capability, integration and flexibility.<\/p>\n OutSystems<\/a><\/strong> is currently in front and has won countless awards, highlighting its innovative structural approach.<\/p>\n But don\u2019t discount the other two.<\/p>\n Power Platform from Microsoft has bigger adoption and integration capabilities with their variety of compatible tools, whilst Sybrin Nitro<\/a><\/strong> is the unrated wildcard with massive potential.<\/p>\n Nitro is home grown in South Africa, so of course they have our support!<\/p>\n JustSolve\u2019s CEO, Botha van der Vyver, is in fact an OutSystems Champion, an honour reserved for only a handful of people that make a significant and meaningful contribution to the OutSystems and low-code community.<\/p>\n Through years spent at the forefront of software development, Botha brings professional advice and know-how to OutSystems user groups<\/a><\/strong>, giving back to the low-code and software development community through mentorship and skills training.<\/p>\n Botha is a big believer in efficiency, and leading a team of over 50, with offices in South Africa, the UK and Australia, he is in the business of solving problems, creating award-winning designs, apps and websites. Amongst others.<\/p>\n Having worked on some of the largest brands in South Africa, JustSolve can take any project from conception through to completion in record time.<\/p>\n Does that mean that JustSolve shuns traditional coding altogether?<\/p>\n Of course not. Because sometimes old school is still the best school.<\/p>\n All that it means is that the team at JustSolve won\u2019t force a solution on you only because it\u2019s the only coding that they do.<\/p>\n They assess each project on its own merits, make a recommendation and then apply it to the best of their abilities.<\/p>\nSo what exactly is low-code?<\/h3>\n
