Course Overview and Citizen Developer
Some of the many Low Code No Code Platforms
Some of the Automation Platforms
Explore core data types for low-code apps, including string, number, boolean, date time, currency, color (hex and rgb), and file fields, with tips on choosing the right type for calculations.
Master conditions, branching, and decision tree logic in low-code workflows by translating real-world scenarios into actions, such as validating emails and showing alerts for Gmail while continuing otherwise.
Understand persistent versus non-persistent storage, why saving data to databases or media matters, and how unsaved in-memory data can be lost when a process ends.
Explore collections, arrays, and dictionaries as in-memory, non-persistent storage, and learn how data can move to databases or networks, with zero-based indexing and key-value structures.
Explore advanced functions in low-code no-code platforms, transform and split full names into first and last names, and automate data flow between systems A and B.
Explore how JSON uses key-value pairs and curly braces, with values as dictionaries or arrays such as address and children, for citizen developers working in low-code/no-code.
Discover how to assemble a low-code app using AppSheet and a Google sheet CRM, customize the user interface, set data types, and auto-populate fields with formulas.
Citizen Developers of Low-Code / No-Code are NOT developers, but they can greatly benefit from knowing key development aspects. This FREE course will get you started on the Low-Code / No-Code path with a solid understanding of development constructs without knowing how to write a single line of code.
Even if you want to get into development, this is a great FREE course to check out because you will need to know these basic constructs that are a part of any programming language. Understanding these main constructs will fast-track your learning when you do decide what language, to begin with.
Here are the key parts you will learn about:
Data Types
Variables
Functions Simplified Explanation
Looping/iteration
Conditions / Branching/ Decision Tree Logic
Concept of persistent / non-persistent storage
Collections / Arrays / Dictionaries
Functions advanced
JSON
OOP Concepts
This course is not tied to any specific LOW-CODE / NO-CODE platform. It also is not dependant on any specific automation system either. The above concepts are used in almost every platform to some degree. Knowing what these will help you get the most value out of the chosen platform you choose to use.
The course is FREE for everyone, so you have nothing to lose. Please be sure to give a high rating as it encourages me to do more courses in the future. I hope you enjoy this course as much as I enjoyed making it for you. I wish you all the best and success on your learning journey to being a Citizen Developers of Low-Code / No-Code systems.
