Visual Development
Visual Development is a software development approach that uses graphical interfaces, drag-and-drop components, and visual programming tools to create applications without writing extensive traditional code. It enables developers and non-developers to build software through visual representations of logic, workflows, and UI elements, often leveraging low-code or no-code platforms. This methodology accelerates prototyping, simplifies complex integrations, and makes development more accessible to users with limited programming expertise.
Developers should learn Visual Development when working on rapid application development (RAD), prototyping, or projects requiring quick iterations, as it reduces time-to-market and lowers technical barriers. It is particularly useful in enterprise environments for building internal tools, automating workflows, or integrating systems without deep coding knowledge, and for citizen developers or cross-functional teams to contribute to software creation. Use cases include creating dashboards, mobile apps, or business process automation where visual tools streamline development and maintenance.
