You don't have to start from +scratch building payment systems or a whole framework for your website anymore. + +Over time, there's been an explosion of tools to help developers, but with so many choices, a new problem arises: +picking the right tech stack. Let's say you're diving into backend development. Your first hurdle? Choosing a +programming language. You've got two main options: go with what you know best or pick the language best suited for your +app. If your app needs to be fast, reliable, and efficient with memory, low-level languages like Rust or Go are solid +choices. But if you're comfortable with C# or Java, the decision gets tougher. Do you learn something new or stick to +what you already know? Generally, it's wise to stick with what you're good at for serious projects (though learning new +skills is crucial too, especially if your application demands it). + +But even after settling on a programming language, the challenges persist. Which framework and database do you go +for? These decisions are even trickier on the frontend with all the frameworks out there. It's a maze of choices, isn't +it? + +## Navigating through the Tech Stack Maze + +For many, this is why embarking on a development journey feels daunting. Without a specific project in mind, just +picking a tech stack and learning it seems like an impossible task. Setting up a backend +alone can eat up a massive amount of time. Once you've settled on libraries and frameworks, mapping out the software +architecture becomes a complex puzzle. You outline every feature, only to realize later that a mistake made early on is +now blocking progress. Next comes the database scheme, an optional but beneficial step for building applications. Then +it's time to fire up your IDE and start coding, followed by testing, debugging and a dozen of bug fixes. After hours of +troubleshooting, you finally get your application running smoothly. But there's still one more hurdle: deployment. Even +the seemingly simple task of setting up a server can be time-consuming. + +**Keep in mind, this is just a simplification of the process of backend-development.** + +Programming is essentially about problem-solving, and that's where code0 comes into play. Building a backend requires a +significant investment of time and experience. You need years of experience in your chosen programming language, a solid +grasp of your chosen database, and much more. Unfortunately, with the vast array of development options available, not +everyone can solve their own problems or contribute to society through programming. That's where our no-code +backend-building software comes in. No-code means exactly that: you can build an application without writing a single +line of code. It's like a box of Lego pieces—versatile and adaptable. You can construct anything from a house to a +spaceship to a tree. Let's start with this analogy. + +## Exploring the Web Editor: A Sneak Peek into the Future of Backend-Development + +application_preview + +Here's a snapshot of the web editor, captured on the day of this blog's release. In the image, you can observe a basic +RESTful API setup, designed for creating users with specific properties. For those unfamiliar with RESTful APIs, here's +a brief overview: it's a widely used API pattern that facilitates data exchange via HTTP, the standard protocol for web +communication. + +When data is sent to this API, it undergoes validation. Certain properties, such as passwords and email addresses, +require specific validation criteria. If the submitted properties pass validation, the system proceeds to execute +certain actions. For instance, in the case of a successful request, the user will receive an email prompting further +registration steps. Additionally, a notification will be dispatched to a designated user +via [Microsoft Teams](https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-teams/group-chat-software/) +, informing them that a new account has been created. + +This example illustrates the fundamental functionality of the web editor. While RESTful APIs are a core feature, the +editor will support various other functionalities including cron jobs, event-based flows or other protocols like MQTT +outside the common backend/frontend development. Stay tuned for more insights in upcoming blogs. + +(start option 1) +**The Inner Workings of the Web Editor** + +At first glance, the image may seem like a simple interface, but beneath the surface, numerous processes are taking place. +Let's delve into what's happening behind the scenes: + +1. **Route Creation and Data Reception**: + - A route is established to receive data sent to a specific URL. + - Upon reception, the data undergoes validation. + +2. **Response Handling**: + - The sender receives a response indicating the success or failure of the request to create a new user entry. + - If successful, the created entry is returned with a status code of 200. Otherwise, a 4xx/5xx error is issued, + detailing the mistakes made during user creation. + +3. **Error Handling**: + - For example, if the email address lacks the "@" symbol, the request is denied, accompanied by an error message + such as: "Error while creating a user, email property doesn't contain an @". + +4. **Post-Request Actions**: + - Upon success, additional actions occur, such as database entry creation and potential triggering of other + services. + - Email and Microsoft Teams integration are just two examples of the multitude of software and APIs that can be + utilized. + +5. **Playback and Configuration**: + - All defined flows can be executed by pressing the play button. + - Changes require a restart to take effect, but modifications are fully customizable. + - Automatic database migrations and path adjustments are seamlessly handled. + +6. **Component Functionality**: + - The components provided serve specific functions, eliminating the need for manual coding. + - Each component is equipped with configurable settings, allowing for flexibility and customization. + +This is just a preview what's to come! So join Us in Shaping the Future with code0. + +Creating an application like this could just take minutes, a stark contrast to the time-consuming deployment processes +and troubleshooting common with traditional tools and software. Our vision is to revolutionize backend development, making it +accessible to all, regardless of programming experience. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a newcomer to +programming, code0 is here to empower you. + +If you're interested in the continued evolution of code0, follow us on our [social media]((https://linktr.ee/code0tech)) +channels.
