Whether you’re an entrepreneur with the next big idea or you’re faced with inefficient processes and systems in a larger organization, chances are you’d prefer not to have to find, hire, and pay a software developer to help you realize your dreams. What if you could build a fully functional marketplace like Airbnb without writing a single line of code? With the ever-growing number of no-code tools, it has never been easier to build web applications and mobile apps and to configure backend data processes. This hands-on course will introduce the range of problems that can be solved with no-code platforms. We will explore how to store and access dynamic data in user-friendly tools like Airtable and Glide, how to design functional applications with builders such as Adalo and Bubble, and how to connect a virtually endless list of powerful tools on automation platforms, including Zapier and Make. Students will work on projects that best fit their needs and interests. Guest speakers will give perspective on where the no-code movement is headed next. Students will come away knowing how to take the digital means of production into their own hands to quickly build the tools they need, rapidly iterate their ideas, and find product/market fit with users.

This course is geared specifically toward students with little to no coding experience.
