AI App Builders and the Future of Software Development
在过去的50多年里, 软件行业关注的是“实现”的挑战——如何编写软件. 这是缓慢的, 昂贵的, 容易出错, and attracts heavy maintenance costs and technical debt, until finally the software has to be re-written again. This is the software industry, but not any longer.
TAAP的Steve Higgon将讨论AI应用程序构建器以及软件开发行业的未来如何从“实现”转向“AI辅助知识工程”。. 他将介绍TAAP的技术如何在几分钟内生成功能齐全的企业级应用程序, machine-generated and bug-free.
This is the next stage in the evolution of the no-code paradigm, further accelerating the process of developing software, not just by Citizen Developers and Domain Experts but professional programmers; the more you know, 你能做的就越多!
