No Code Required presents the various design, system architectures, research methodologies, and evaluation strategies that are used by end users programming on the Web. It also presents the tools that will allow users to participate in the creation of their own Web. Comprised of seven parts, the book provides basic information about the field of end-user programming. Part 1 points out that the Firefox browser is one of the differentiating factors considered for end-user programming on the Web. Part 2 discusses the automation and customization of the Web. Part 3 covers the different approaches to proposing a specialized platform for creating a new Web browser. Part 4 discusses three systems that focus on the customized tools that will be used by the end users in exploring large amounts of data on the Web. Part 5 explains the role of natural language in the end-user programming systems. Part 6 provides an overview of the assumptions on the accessibility of the Web site owners of the Web content. Lastly, Part 7 offers the idea of the Web-active end user, an individual who is seeking new technologies. The first book since Web 2.0 that covers the latest research, development, and systems emerging from HCI research labs on end user programming tools Featuring contributions from the creators of Adobe’s Zoetrope and Intel’s Mash Maker, discussing test results, implementation, feedback, and ways forward in this booming area

No-Code application development platforms have seen a major rise in popularity in the last decade, primarily because these platforms offer a great way for businesses and other organizations to develop apps that meet their needs without having to involve professional software developers. Due to the lack of programming knowledge needed, it's not surprising that Gartner (a leading research and advisory firm) projects that by 2025, 65% of all app development will be done on No-Code platforms. If you've ever had an idea you wanted to turn into an app but didn't have the money to pay a developer and didn't have time or inclination to learn how to code in order to create that app, no-code is your answer. If you know what you want to build, no-code platforms allow you to assemble a working program that follows best programming practices just by dragging and dropping components onto a screen. Of course it helps to have done some research into no-code apps including current trends, techniques, and tips on how to put together the best version of your application. That's where our blog comes in. "Mastering No-Code" (www.mastering-nocode.com) provides news, articles, examples, explanations, and tips on how to become a "professional" no-code developer. If you're simply interested in learning how to build your own apps or if you want to create an app for sale, or to fill a business need, or just for fun, this book may help you get started. Even if you're already using a no-code platform you may find something interesting, so go ahead and take a look inside...Note: This material consists primarily of blog posts from Mastering No-Code (January through March 2021).

This title shows the process of cleaning code. Rather than just illustrating the end result, or just the starting and ending state, the author shows how several dozen seemingly small code changes can positively impact the performance and maintainability of an application code base.

Get more out of your legacy systems: more performance, functionality, reliability, and manageability Is your code easy to change? Can you get nearly instantaneous feedback when you do change it? Do you understand it? If the answer to any of these questions is no, you have legacy code, and it is draining time and money away from your development efforts. In this book, Michael Feathers offers start-to-finish strategies for working more effectively with large, untested legacy code bases. This book draws on material Michael created for his renowned Object Mentor seminars: techniques Michael has used in mentoring to help hundreds of developers, technical managers, and testers bring their legacy systems under control. The topics covered include Understanding the mechanics of software change: adding features, fixing bugs, improving design, optimizing performance Getting legacy code into a test harness Writing tests that protect you against introducing new problems Techniques that can be used with any language or platform—with examples in Java, C++, C, and C# Accurately identifying where code changes need to be made Coping with legacy systems that aren't object-oriented Handling applications that don't seem to have any structure This book also includes a catalog of twenty-four dependency-breaking techniques that help you work with program elements in isolation and make safer changes.

I see a lot of people face problems when they try to learn App development or have a lot of questions, How to Start? Which is the Best Platform? Is Coding necessary? Is Laptop Required? And when Students Attend my webinars, they mostly ask, Can we build Apps without code? Really? Are you joking? Which are your Apps? How Many Downloads do they have? These Questions are never going to end. So, I decided to write a detailed book on this topic to explain psychology, methods & give answers to those questions. My most of Apps on Playstore are build with no code and crossed 2M+ downloads.
