Platforms for Application Development
Auto-code is where auto-correct meets coding with AI. Auto-correction completes based on a selection algorithm for inferring “what comes next” in a program based on coding earlier in the line. Auto-code is a feature using AI to adapt and suggest to coding for streamlining and expediating application development. The method boasts less defects in application and better time management of programmers. This progresses in to a Low Code Platform (LCP) where it is part automated process and part predefined algorithms for transforming data and input.
No-code or graphical application development is real and coming soon. This is very different than the current environment that is either command line interface (CLI) or menu based. No Code Development Platforms (NCDPs) are visual programming languages and include Airtable, SalesForce, and WordPress. This is drag and drop building blocks to fulfill a desired result to transform input or data. Considered the future, many cite that these development platforms lack security and utility.
Both Low Code and No Code environments are becoming more mainstream. The Command Line Interface and conventional Coding are not going away. They will always be an option. Applying NLP to application development has yielded coding efficiency and an adaptation to languages to be inclusive of non-verbal logical types, like programming languages, that is meant for machines. With emphasis removed from using lines of code, creation of programming building blocks for commonly used functions that can be graphically combined to yield solutions to complex problems.
