The evolution of low-code programming

Low-code platforms enable rapid delivery of business applications with a minimum of hand-coding and minimal upfront investment in setup, training, and deployment. Building a low-code app development platform consists of two developer-facing parts: This video looks at the history of low-code tools and how these two parts evolved separately before merging to create the low-code platforms of today. Part 1 of 4 of a webinar hosted by Linx and the University of Leicester.

The Business Case for Low-code

Is attempting to solve lots of problems at once using a single platform considered expensive or cheap? It depends, of course, on the platform, the fit to your needs, and how you make use of it. In the current environment where the landscape of apps is growing in every arena, the challenge is to figure out how to create as many apps as possible that can be easily adapted and maintained. Low-code application platforms are claiming to be a solution.

Service Orientated Architecture (SOA) and Low-code

The service-oriented architecture (SOA) methodology was created to accelerate and simplify the crucial task of bringing enterprise software applications to market. But what is an SOA - and is it still relevant today? This video explores this subject and how it aligns with today's modern low-code application development platforms. Part 3 of 4 of a webinar hosted by Linx and the University of Leicester.

Automate cross-browser testing: What you need to know

A good browser, good apps, a good camera, and fast networking in your smartphone are just expected today. – Thorsten Heins This quote shows the dependency we have on browsers, the web, and mobile phones today. But how did we come so far? Technological development and robust testing have helped us reach where we are. When it is about multiple devices and browsers – the role of cross-browser testing can not be under-estimated.

3 top tools for automated cross-browser testing

The whole point of cross-browser testing is to deliver consistent user experiences across various browsers. When we build websites or web apps, some of their features aren’t compatible with some browsers; with cross-browser testing, we can ensure uniform experiences. While performing cross-browser testing, we generally check for the following: When we perform cross-browser compatibility testing, it’s easy to discover such bugs and fix them before our product goes into production.

Implementing Automation and an MLOps Framework for Enterprise-scale ML

With the explosion of the machine learning tooling space, the barrier to entry has never been lower for companies looking to invest in AI initiatives. But enterprise AI in production is still immature. How are companies getting to production and scaling up with machine learning in 2021? Implementing data science at scale used to be an endeavor reserved for the tech giants with their armies of developers and deep pockets.
