3. Low-Code/No-Code: Citizen Developers and the Surprising Future of Business Applications
2022 by Phil Simon
Decades of navigating our relationship with workplace technology have proven complex, a sentiment exacerbated by the challenges brought on by the recent pandemic. The staggering statistics reveal a pressing issue: two out of three employers struggle to find qualified candidates for their open IT positions, and by 2024, the shortage of software developers in the US alone is expected to reach 500,000. This imbalance between the supply and demand for tech professionals is a persistent problem, with no apparent resolution in sight. The consequences of this labor market gap are far-reaching, with nearly three in four technology leaders unable to concentrate on strategic priorities, and numerous organizations facing hurdles as IT struggles to provide essential tools. Compounded by the necessity for new applications to address logistical challenges posed by remote and hybrid work, organizations find themselves at a critical juncture. In his thirteenth book, "Low-Code/No-Code: Citizen Developers and the Surprising Future of Business Applications," renowned workplace technology expert Phil Simon addresses this conundrum. He skillfully demonstrates how, thanks to innovative tools and a new generation of employees, organizations are meeting crucial business needs while lessening their dependence on costly software developers. In this timely and insightful resource, Simon provides a wealth of analysis, synthesis, examples, and advice, offering a solution to the pressing tech problems of today.
