I’m very passionate about the no-code space. Before joining IBM I co-founded [Appery.io](http://appery.io), a visual low-code platform for building mobile applications.

I truly believe in the promise of no-code:

- Make software development faster and easier
- Democratizing software development

Perhaps a more general version of these two points can be:

- Make building solutions with (no-code) software faster and easier
- Make it possible for everybody to build solutions

I encourage you to read the first link below: [What is no-code?](https://dev.to/maxkatz/what-is-no-code-1o5n) which covers these two points in more detail.

A lot of the content I published this year is using [Parabola](http://parabola.io). Parabola is a no-code visual platform where you build a flow or automation by connecting small step together (as shown in the image above). It reminds of a [Serverless](https://developer.ibm.com/depmodels/serverless/gettingstarted/) where you build an application connecting small functions together. And with Parabola you do it in a similar fashion but in a visual way. In fact, many examples below take an application built with code and then rebuild the app with no-code using Parabola.
