There’s more than one approach to creating apps these days – knowing the options and how to choose one is critical. Low-code frameworks take a top-down approach, which can reduce complexity and development time significantly. On the other hand, core-dev frameworks are a better choice when control over every aspect of an app is essential. In this session, attendees will be introduced to a low-code framework (APEX) and a core-dev one (JET) to see how the approaches and results differ.
