Overview of this book

This book is an exhaustive overview of how the Appian Low-Code BPM Suite enables tech-savvy professionals to rapidly automate business processes across their organization, integrating people, software bots, and data. This is crucial as 80% of all software development is expected to be carried out in low code by 2024. This practical guide helps you master business application development with Appian as a beginner low-code developer. You'll learn to automate business processes using Appian low-code, records, processes, and expressions quickly and on an enterprise scale. In a fictional development project, guided by step-by-step explanations of the concepts and practical examples, this book will empower you to transform complex business processes into software. At first, you’ll learn the power of no-code with Appian Quick Apps to solve some of your most crucial business challenges. You’ll then get to grips with the building blocks of an Appian, starting with no-code and advancing to low-code, eventually transforming complex business requirements into a working enterprise-ready application. By the end of this book, you'll be able to deploy Appian Quick Apps in minutes and successfully transform a complex business process into low-code process models, data, and UIs to deploy full-featured, enterprise-ready, process-driven, mobile-enabled apps.

Summary

In this last chapter, I have shared some solutions and design patterns with you in the hope that they will make your future life as an Appian designer easier. You gained a better understanding of how to design and implement certain use cases and requirements in process models, interfaces, and expression rules.

Furthermore, keep the additional Appian modules in mind. RPA, process mining, IDP, and Appian Portals are a great complement for your enterprise low-code strategy using Appian.

You are now ready to successfully transform complex business processes into low-code process models, data, and user interfaces, and to implement fully-fledged, integrated, enterprise-ready, process-driven, and mobile-enabled applications.

I have accompanied you with this book in the development of your first low-code application with Appian and tried to share my experiences with you.

Now, it's up to you to take the next steps. Thank you for being part of this exciting journey.
