BUILDING BLOCKS.io
A paradigm shift
for software teams and managers
This book supports a world where coders or designers provide smart building blocks to citizens
who then build a solution to their specific needs in a controlled environment.
No-code is growing rapidly and it is here to stay. This book shows you how to have the best of
both worlds.
Develop your own no-code system that fits like a glove and do it blazing fast by using our
pre-build customizable templates and code snippets.
Use this powerfull system to let your organization build complex apps in minutes and scale them
for years to come.
Everything in the book is based on open source software and basicly for free. But there are
plenty of commercially supported alternatives when needed.
