Surprise! The web is changing once more. Our first 30 years were dominated by hand-coding all kinds of solutions. They featured powerful and direct tools -- but many ran on the command line or required significant study to master.

While no-code tools have been with us for years in the form of Macromedia/Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage, and content management systems like WordPress and Drupal, all of these tools have left much to be desired for building websites and applications for those with zero coding skills.

The latest round of tools are inspiring and accessible for those wishing to make new applications and websites. As always, there are significant downsides to these tools which should not be ignored.

In this session, we'll quickly review the problems with older no-code platforms and briefly look at new no-code tools like Bubble, Webflow, Airtable, and Zapier. We'll discuss the advantages and disadvantages with these new no-code tools, including addressing the problems that still aren't being solved in web design and development.

Works as a typical 45-60 minute session or as a keynote. Could be designed as a hands-on workshop as well.
