S2: E8 No Code, Low Code & Honeycode

The advantage of no code/low code tools is that it opens up a door of possibilities for both the coders and the non-coders to become developers. While developing a website or application does require coding - it's actually much more than that. There's the user interface (UI), user experience (UX), design thinking, marketing and more that goes into an idea becoming a reality and successfully in the hands (or on the screens) of the end user. All those components take time and skills sets that can be unique but with the coming of these tools the barriers between ideation to creation and deployment are removed. This new type of developers are called Citizen Developers. One of the latest options available to take part of this movement is Amazon Honeycode. The new Amazon service is a fully-managed AWS service that gives developers the power to build powerful mobile & web applications without writing any code. It uses the familiar spreadsheet model and lets you get started in minutes. Honeycode is still in beta but if you enjoy working with tools like Excel and Access I have a feeling you'll enjoy exploring what this tool has to offer in terms of opportunities to build quickly and bring those ideas to life.
