As a very popular field in the IT industry recently, low code/no code (low zero code for short) development platform is a visual application creation and development environment, which enables non-professional developers to create mobile by clicking and dragging Or web application.

The low zero-code platform also enables business analysts, IT administrators, small business owners, and other non-software developers to quickly build and test applications, because application creators do not need to understand traditional programming languages, machine code, etc. What the user sees is only a user-friendly graphical interface (GUI), in which an application can be quickly created only by clicking the mouse.

Grandly recommend Amazon Honeycode

Amazon Honeycode is a fully managed low-zero code development platform provided by Amazon. as a collaborative application building tool, the platform can help teams increase productivity and work in their own way. Users can use Amazon Honeycode for almost anything: team task management, project planning, event management, and regular updates or status reports.

Amazon Honeycode does not require any programming experience, we just need to know how to use "spreadsheets". In this way, team members can design and implement processes according to their own needs, thereby simplifying the processing of tasks, updates, and communications. Learn to manage data more effectively and continue to work on the go.

not require any programming skills. After learning Amazon Honeycode, everyone can quickly build applications. For example

Typical use cases for Amazon Honeycode

We can take advantage of the power of Amazon Honeycode in many ways. Especially, when we don't have the time or resources for comprehensive application development, Amazon Honeycode can be an option.

Amazon Honeycode can help solve use cases such as team task management, project planning, status reporting, operational monitoring, customer and resource management, and approval processes. a certain degree of scalability, no matter a small team of less than ten people, or hundreds of people from different departments in the entire organization, they can be used together. E.g:

The unique value of Amazon Honeycode

Many teams are accustomed to using spreadsheets, emails, documents, and similar tools to manage and track projects. This method may work well at first. But over time, the team will come up with more ideas about how to use its data.

In order to adapt to these changing needs, they must adapt to the way they work. Many teams realize that the tools they use today have not kept up with their final thoughts. Teams often get stuck in copying and pasting, writing emails back and forth, manually updating and maintaining version control.

Would it be better to have a dedicated application tailored specifically for the project? Unfortunately, building such an application usually requires programming skills or IT resources. Amazon Honeycode meets these two requirements. The team can use Amazon Honeycode to design and build applications in just a few minutes.

If you are not familiar with the concept of application construction, you can think of an application as a tool that allows users to view and manipulate data. Traditional business applications are built on databases. These applications require programming experience to create, update, and maintain, and a management system to run.

Amazon Honeycode takes advantage of the capabilities of databases and the flexibility of spreadsheets, and provides everything from front-end components and application clients to back-end data storage. All of these are packaged in an easy-to-use visual interface. With the help of Amazon Honeycode, we can build a runnable application within a few hours to better meet the actual management needs of ourselves and our team. And this method does not require users to have programming skills at all!

Amazon Honeycode has arrived. Compared with traditional productivity tools, the team can use it to complete more work.

Learn about Amazon Honeycode workbooks and applications

In the above figure, "My Drive" consists of two parts: workbook and application. Let's start with the application and further explore these two parts in Amazon Honeycode.

Amazon Honeycode application

We can think of applications as tools that allow users to view and manipulate data. Although technically correct, this description does not fully reflect the nature of the Amazon Honeycode application and what it can do.

Amazon Honeycode applications are collaborative, dedicated, authorized, and flexible. We can create applications ourselves, or we can create applications with others. Use apps to simplify workflows, automate processes and solve many daily business problems.

The Amazon Honeycode application is a dedicated collaboration tool. The team creates applications to simplify the way it manages data, performs tasks, and solves daily business challenges.

Amazon Honeycode Workbook

To build an application, you first need to create an Amazon Honeycode workbook. What do I need to build an application?

The Amazon Honeycode workbook contains all these activities. The design of data, application program construction and automation functions is powerful, deeply integrated and easy to use.

In the Amazon Honeycode workbook, we can quickly and collaboratively build to adapt to the development of business needs.

Quickly set up workbooks and applications

Amazon Honeycode provides many templates to help us get started quickly. When using a template to create a workbook, Amazon Honeycode will provide a fully functional workbook and application within a few seconds. We can use the examples in the Simple To-do template to learn about Amazon Honeycode.

Amazon Honeycode workbooks allow us to manage data, build applications, and automate workflows. Its interface provides us with a separate view corresponding to each activity type. You can switch between views by selecting the corresponding icon in the left navigation pane.

Navigate between tables, builders, and automation views to extend application functionality.

With basic Amazon Honeycode application building skills, we can quickly build custom applications to meet our business needs. But how to develop for different application scenarios?

We will later adopt more articles to give a more detailed introduction around specific use cases. Stay tuned!
