Even the development of the metaverse passes from languages with simplified coding approaches above all to allow a creators and users to model spaces, objects and services of virtual worlds. Currently three most popular platforms – Roblox, The Sandbox, and Decentraland – are mostly built via simplified or null coding systems.
The distinction between the two sectors
In the business environment, however, a distinction must be made between the two approaches. The low-code includes professional developers, experienced system integrators and enterprise architects with extensive technical skills. So it focuses entirely on reusing, optimizing and simplifying integration tasks. The platforms no-code are programs that allow you to work on building web apps, mobile apps and websites without having specific programming skills for software development.
In the business environment, the purpose of business users is to solve a relatively simple integration problem without necessarily having any software development skills or having to write a single line of code. This is the so-called “citizen-development” scenario.
“Also in Italy – explains Filippo Rizzante, CTO of Reply – the figure of the Citizen Developer is also emerging, that is an” evolved “end user, because inside the company but outside the It team, able to manage changes to graphic elements, contents or configurations independently in a secure context and at the same time validated by the corporate IT department. In the coming years we expect an ever greater diffusion of these figures within companies.
Gartner predicts that by 2023, the number of Citizen Developers in companies will be at least four times the number of ICT professionals, for this reason, we have decided to create a company, Ki Reply, dedicated to technologies. Nocode/Lowcodewhich has the objective of helping our customers to identify and introduce technologies that help them speed up time to market through the optimization of processes concerning software development ».
