How Citizen Developers Are Transforming IT Departments
Citizen development empowers employees who are not IT-trained to become software developers. They use NoCode/LowCode (LCNC) platforms that allow them to create business applications. This method of software development allows employees to become citizen developers, despite not having a formal education. In this context, AI tools like Cursor and Replit have emerged as pivotal resources...
