I wanted to create a guide for people who wish to enter no-code technologies with "Become a no-coder." I hope I can accelerate your journey as well as make it easier.
If the first question on your mind is "can I do it," please start by readingĀ My Journey.
Hi again! I'm Eren; my full name is Eren Dik. I have been using Bubble since 2016. I met no-code through an internet newspaper calledĀ Webrazzi, which I got to know through a Facebook post. (Yes, I was far from these technologies; I even wasn't knowing Webrazzi back then.)
The article's title:Ā You can create web applications even if you don't know how to write a single line of code, and they usedĀ Bubble'sĀ logo for the visual.
Ā
Yes, you see, right before it becameĀ Bubble.io, it was using the domain nameĀ Bubble.is, and its logo was as above; a few years ago, they changed the logo and domain name.
Could I make an appš¤? When I first read this article, I thought, "I don't think much can be done. I'll probably look and leave, but I'll have a look anyway." š
I created my account and practiced Bubble's interactive lessons and ta-daaaa. It was incredible!!!
Ā
My new goal has been to learn Bubble. šÆ
I am currently a manager in a company owned by my family. I wanted to grasp this new world alongside my work for 15 years. So, I could make my job easier by creating apps for my current company. I could also keep my costs down a lot.
Ā
First of all, I started to learn by separating my free time outside of working hours and weekends. This platform, which I thought nothing could be done with, was so vast and flexible that I saw that I needed to devote more time to it.
Ā
I did not give up; I devoted all my time to reading and development. Evenings, weekends, holidays. After three years, I could now say I am anĀ expertĀ in BubbleĀ (Normally, you don't need three years to become an expert on Bubble. Remember, I could work in my spare time).
Ā
And I established the first Bubble agency in Turkey. "Kodsuz Ltd." (Kodsuz means no-code in Turkish). We've developed applications for clients and had a lot of side project trials, and we're still doing these trials and producing templates and plugins for Bubble's marketplace.
Ā
In short, if you want to change your career, if you are here to improve yourself, or if you are planning to develop your business, there are hundreds of people out there who have succeeded like me, and you can be one of them. In addition, technology is advancing at a breakneck pace, it is getting easier to use tools every day, or tools that can be used more easily are emerging.
Hopefully, "Become A Nocoder"Ā will help you on your journey.
No-code platforms have been talked about since the 90s; I think it would be fitting to giveĀ ExcelĀ as an example of the first no-code tool.
Over the years, especially since the spread of the internet, all kinds of technology have come into contact with more and more people. The people who developed this technology have tried to make things easier, and they still do.
However, with the spread of cloud-based technologies in 2008-2009, the idea of creating no-code tools/platforms accelerated. That has become very common in the period of about 14-15 years.
With no-code, you can create, manage and communicate with websites, web apps, native apps, ML, AI, and even transactions made on the blockchain.
If you have a computer and internet, there is almost nothing you cannot do.
First of all, I don't want you to think that automation is only on the business scale. If you wonder how automation can work in a different subject, such as social media, not on a business scale, you can jump to the 2nd example.Ā (I didn't mean to say that social media is not a business here. I tried to explain that it is different from classical trade.)
One of the obstacles to scaling is non-automated work.
If your business is in the early stage, you can ignore it for now, but if your business is starting to grow, automation is aĀ must.
If you don't use automation, your employee/hour cost and error rate will skyrocket, which automation programs will likely accomplish with zero errors and a much lower price.
Of course, a few examples I will give now may not suit everyone's business, but an automation system is waiting for you on the web.
You have now decided to become a no-coder if you've read the topics in order and up to here.
I've tried to compile terms that you will frequently encounter, no matter what tool you use.
ā ļø
When you look at the terminology, for some, you might say, "It's too technical; it's beyond me." DON'T SAY! In such a case, think of my story. These terms don't seem very technical to me anymore because they have become a part of my life. They will be like that for you too.
š¬
While preparing the terminology, I wanted there to be no loss of information. Instead of explaining it entirely in my own words, I brought together the sources that I think are correct. However, since you may wonder what a non-technical person understands, I tried to explain it in my way in the comments section.
Combining great features built-in other apps with your app gives you incredible power. That's why APIs are so important.
Those with programming knowledge already know APIs. However, I wanted to address this for non-programmers. Because even if you haven't heard of it today, you will need it tomorrow, and those who wish to learn about no-code technologies should learn the APIs.
APIs are one of the main reasons web technologies are so powerful, and you need to be familiar with them.
API (Application Programming Interface)
I am sure that anyone has purchased from at least one e-commerce site, bought a plane ticket, and booked a room in a hotel. That's where the API comes in and much more.
APIs mean multiple applications communicate.
You entered an e-commerce site, selected the products, and added them to the basket. It's time to pay, and you make the payment using Stripe, PayPal, or a similar payment tool. You were not even redirected to a different app than the one you are on.
An E-commerce site is an app, and a payment provider is another app. The API is the structure that communicates these applications. You bought your product; the e-commerce site owner got their money.
Everyone is happy š

Tools & Platforms
š
You will find more than 50+ platforms that we have compiled for you on this page. You can observe their learning curves and prices, browse the interaction of their communities and find the most suitable tool for you.
ā ļø
If you have decided to learn and use a platform, I recommend that you pay attention to the fact that this platform has an engaged community. Communities are the biggest helpers that can take you to the next level. That's why I've also included the community of each platform as data.
I have compiled online courses or training videos about popular platforms on this page. You can find their prices and direct URLs and easily see which platforms they are made for.
Here are the podcasts you can listen to while walking, on the bus, or doing sports. You can learn more about the platforms, who created them, who uses them, and their next moves.
Since we still continue to improve Startup Recipesā content and add new recipes you may want to add the Notion link URL into your bookmarks. You will have immediate access if you choose this option.
Option 2: Duplicate Notion Page
You are also welcome to duplicate the content into your Notion. Just remember, you have to visit the original link again when you need to access the latest updates.
Once you click the link youāll be redirected to a Notion Page like below:
You can save this URL to your bookmarks or you can simply duplicate Startup Recipes to take notes on it. When you duplicated this Notion workspace you wonāt need this URL anymore. We recommend you do both.
How can I know when you added something new to Become a Nocoder?
We will notify you via emails about the latest updates we have made on āBecome a Nocoderā. Please remember to check original Notion file if you duplicated āBecome a Nocoderā into your Notion to see the updated content.
Can I share Become a Nocoder with my friend?
Please do not share your copy šĀ If your friend canāt afford to purchase Become a Nocoder we can offer her/him a generous discount. Please send an email to kod-suz@kod-suz.comwith your friend's email address.
