Software development skills are needed around the world. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand is so high that it is expected to grow 22% through 2029. Comparatively, the average growth rate for all occupations is only around 4%.
Yet, despite the high demand, the supply hasnât been able to match up as software development has been long seen as a complex and difficult field to master. However, with the introduction of NoCode tools, non-coders have found success in building web applications, making easier integrations and launching websites.
One of the major movers in the NoCode space, Webflow recently reached a $2.1 billion valuation following a successful $140 million Series B funding round. To get a better understanding of the reasons behind such a valuation and what it could mean to the industry at large, we spoke to leaders and practitioners to hear what they had to say.
