Join the low-code revolution and leverage the power of Mendix to develop software solutions using business logic, needs, and requirements
Low-code is a visual approach to application development. It enables developers of varying experience levels to create web and mobile applications using drag-and-drop components and model-driven logic through a graphic user interface. Mendix is among the fastest-growing platforms that enable low-code enthusiasts to put their software ideas into practice without having to write much code.
The book starts with an introduction to Mendix and its elements, along with the reasons for using this platform and the tools needed for creating your first application. As you progress, you’ll explore Mendix Modeler, the visual environment that will help you get to grips with Mendix app creation. Once you have your working application ready, you will learn how to enhance your application with custom business logic and rules. Throughout the chapters, you’ll find out how to defend your apps against bad data, troubleshoot and debug your app, and finally, connect your app with real-world business platforms. The book is filled with walkthrough examples, real-world scenarios, and explanations of the tools needed to help you build low-code apps successfully.
By the end of this book, you will have understood the concept of low-code development, learned how to use Mendix, and developed a working app.
This book is for tech-savvy business analysts and citizen developers who want to get started with Mendix for rapid application development. The book is also helpful for seasoned developers looking to learn a new tool/platform and for anyone passionate about designing technical solutions without wanting to indulge in the complexities of writing code.
