Abstract

This paper mainly serves as a summary of the recent software development trend of low-code platforms. It discusses many uses of the applications, company created low-code programs, and risks and benefits in using low-coding solutions. I reach the conclusion that low-coding is still gaining momentum and will continue to increase and develop in the future. This may in fact be the future of most coding experience.
