Codebase hails upcoming Nocode event
Scottish start-up incubator Codebase has heralded the return of in-person events and programmes, ahead of a key conference later this month that focuses on a trend billed as having “transformative” potential for Scotland.
The Nocode Gathering takes place at Codebase in Edinburgh on Tuesday, November 23, shining a spotlight on nocode, or low-code, a trend that enables non-technical people and teams to build software, websites, apps, or games without writing code.
It will see in-person delegates joined by virtual attendees, and is being sponsored by Creative Informatics, Glasgow-based automation specialist Cobry, and Supemetrics, a Finland-headquartered automation tool developer that recently began recruiting in Scotland.
Speakers at Nocode Gathering include Max Haining, who runs 100 Days of Nocode, which is described as the UK’S largest no-code community; Mariam Hakobyan from no-code platform Softr; Mariel Vargas from Bubble, which recently raised $100 million (£74m) from Silicon Valley investors; and Nile Frater, MD of Nocode.tech.
Mr Frater said: “For years, creating and changing the digital world we all use has been a privilege restricted to computer scientists and Silicon Valley whiz-kids. No-code changes this and allows absolutely anyone to create apps, automate computers and edit the digital world they live in – without having to understand computer programming or going to university.
"It's why we're so invested in no-code education and it's why we think no-code is the next huge technology shift of the 2020s.”
