For decades, our relationship with workplace technology has been, in a word, complicated. The pandemic only made it more so.

The stats are astonishing. Two in three employers cannot find qualified candidates to fill their open IT positions. By 2024, the deficit of software developers in the US alone will hit 500,000. Supply and demand for techies are out of whack and, most alarmingly, there's no end in sight.

The effects of this labor market imbalance are profound and difficult to overstate. Nearly three in four technology leaders cannot focus on their strategic priorities. Countless other firms, departments, teams, and leaders have struggled because IT can't deliver the tools they so desperately need. Adding salt to the wound, business units now need new applications to address the logistical challenges posed by pervasive remote and hybrid work.

Brass tacks: Organizations are at a crossroads. They need to solve these thorny tech problems. Now. But how?

In Low-Code/No-Code: Citizen Developers and the Surprising Future of Business Applications, world-renowned workplace technology expert and award-winning author Phil Simon squares this circle. His thirteenth book deftly illustrates how, thanks to powerful new tools and a new breed of employees, organizations are finally fulfilling critical business needs and reducing their reliance on pricey software developers.

Low-Code/No-Code is an invaluable treasure trove of insightful analysis, synthesis, examples, and advice that has arrived at the perfect time.

Reviews for Low-Code/No-Code: Citizen Developers and the Surprising Future of Business Applications

"""I read all of Phil's books. As a software developer coming of age in the 1980s and early 1990s, I fondly remember tools like DataFlex, Microsoft Access, and Clarion. Phil shows how today's citizen developers can use low-code/no-code software in amazing ways, while honoring the trajectory that got us here."" -Brad Feld, Partner at Foundry, co-founder Techstars, author, runner, reader, hermit, and nerd ""Low-Code/No-Code could not have arrived at a better time. Simon systematically identifies the most pressing issues that tech execs, app developers, and IT professionals face-and adeptly shows how to resolve them."" -Gerald C. Kane, C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry Chair in Business Administration, University of Georgia and coauthor of The Transformation Myth ""Take it from me: The demand for new internal apps and tech has only intensified, but software engineers are more difficult to recruit and retain than ever. Something has to give. Fortunately, Low-Code/No-Code shows the path forward: New tools let subject matter experts become citizen developers and shoulder a good deal of the development burden. Get this book."" -Paul Maya, Chief Technology Officer, United States Tennis Association ""Phil Simon skillfully introduces citizen developers and the world of low-code/no-code software. This timely book fuses examples, capabilities, and stats-and with a sense of humor to boot. The result is a delightfully easy read that left me informed and inspired. An essential text for any curious self-starter."" -Denise Brouder, workplace futurist and founder at SWAY"
