Here's a short article that is thinking generally about the place of no-code ( aka FileMaker and others ) solutions

Sorry everyone. It is a short article, so I wasn't surprised by @Cecile's remark.

We may start out with some definitions and a [comprehensive overview](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_computer_programming) of a broad subject.

Ahum,

@Malcolm no link was added to your opening post. That why @Cecile found it really short 😉.

Oh boy I should have replied to the OP instead of Torsten.

Hello the fmsoup! Good to pop in.

Short? Long? Whatever! It's a fantastic article!

That _really_ hits the nail on the head, and puts the "no code" ...er...trend ... into the context of where we and Claris are at ...

- a time when there is a great shortage of FileMaker developers (IT boom + ageing FM developers + not up-to-speed on-boarding of young developers) - where the no-code idiom is helping 'citizen developers' to fill that gap
- a time when we are all trying to connect disparate system via flows - that are tangible in Claris Connect

👍 Malcolm!
