How We Write Better Software with Low-Code

Explore the potential of low-code development in this 31-minute conference talk from GOTO Amsterdam 2023. Discover how low-code platforms can lead to better software and faster development through higher abstraction, business-oriented coding languages, and simplified tools for complex tasks. Learn from a decade of experience in developing a proprietary low-code platform, including insights on involving stakeholders and business people in the design and development process. Gain understanding of how low-code can be combined with traditional software development, and examine the challenges encountered along the way. The talk covers the evolution of low-code, observations on model-driven development and domain-specific languages, benefits of low-code approaches, and potential hurdles to overcome.
