Building a Visual Programming (No Code) Mobile App on Adalo, AppGyver, Glide, GoodBarber, Honeycode and Mendix

There are thousands of mobile apps already on the market, so why would you want to know how to build a mobile app yourself? Maybe because:

1. You or your company has a problem that doesn’t really fit any application on the market and you want to build an app yourself to solve the problem.

2. You have an idea for an application that applies to a niche market but don’t have the money to hire a developer to build the app for you.

3. You want to build a mobile version of your website.

4. You want a custom app that lets your customers, clients or other users interact directly with your organization’s staff members.

5. You’ve thought of a really neat version of a common application and want to build your version of the app and market it.

6. You want to become a software developer but you don’t have a head for coding or don’t have the time or money to learn how to code – and you see visual “no-code” programming as your pathway to becoming a developer.

Regardless of your reasons, “no-code” and “low-code” development platforms are growing by leaps and bounds and are projected to grab a huge share of the programming market over the next couple of years. The good news is that you don’t have to have any programming background to take part in the move to visual programming. There are numerous platforms online where you can construct even complex apps that can run on mobile devices, like smartphones and tablets.

This book is simply a quick overview of how to create a particular app on six of the most popular no-code/low-code platforms. The intent is to show the basic steps involved in each case and to make it clear how easily you can build an app of your own without knowing anything about program coding. I hope that the examples inside can help you take advantage of this opportunity to become a “citizen developer” and construct that app you’ve been wanting to create for yourself or your organization.
