Who this book is for

Like the platform, this book is meant for everyone - professional and novice developers alike - who want to build and deploy apps for their personal or professional use as an individual or as a team. However, for professional developers, it is important to note that the book will not focus on advanced use cases with features like using public APIs and 3P integrations. No programming knowledge or experience is needed to start creating basic apps. However, working knowledge of Microsoft Excel or similar spreadsheet tools and a general understanding of logical statements will be helpful to get the most out of this book.
