Preface

Thank you for taking a look at Building Low-Code Applications with Mendix. You will take the first step in discovering what low-code is, the differences between platforms, the benefits, and what Mendix is all about. First off, low-code is exactly what it sounds like. It uses a visual platform instead of a traditional one, which allows you to build applications more rapidly by reducing the need for traditional code. Mendix is one of the leaders in this field, which we will be using throughout this book. We will take you through the basics of account creation and breaking down the interface. From there, you will be guided through app creation, all the way to storing data and creating REST services. By the end, you will have a strong understanding of Mendix basics, as well as a fully functioning application.
