Netlight's CodePub Berlin meets Fraunhofer FOKUS

The Code Pub is a meet-up for women and non-binary who want to learn more about IT. Our goal is to create a platform where beginners as well as professionals can be inspired and inspire others.

Hej everyone,
on the 29th of September we will deep dive into Low Code. What is Low Code and why is it becoming increasingly popular, with projections saying, that by 2024 low code will account for more than 65% of application development activities?  

Low Code is a software development approach that allows domain experts without any programming experience to build (parts of) applications through the use of visual application design tools and other graphical modeling techniques, rather than traditional text-based programming languages.

Even if you don’t know any programming languages, you can participate and contribute to your team's progress.

We will welcome you on the 29th of September fully remote and are looking forward to enjoying an awesome evening with you. Just sign up and feel free to bring a friend or people from your network to this event by sharing the invite. You will receive a link to the video tool shortly before the event to join the evening.

Building bridges between domain experts and programming experts with Low Code.

Anna is a researcher at Fraunhofer FOKUS in Berlin. Her research interests include security architectures, cloud computing/cloud security, and tools for low-code development. The latter being the focus of the workshop. Anna will give an introduction to this software development approach that requires little to no coding by employing visual modelling tools to develop applications. Thus allowing both professional developers and domain experts with little to no prior coding experience to create applications equally.
