GBD148. Data Automation and Your Business's 'No Code' Future.

"The key to a business's future is CREATIVITY, not coding".


How does a business move beyond spreadsheets while still
using data more effectively? What cloud-integrated,
process-automation tools can be built without needing any
knowledge of code? This week's perspectives come from the city of
Surat in India, from where we're joined by Rachit Khator, Founder
of Stackby.com. Stackby is a collaborative database platform that
helps non-technical people create and customize their own
software. 



Talking Points. 



What an API actually is.

Ways a business could “unbundle” from spreadsheets.

Why the key to a business's future is creativity, not coding.

Some useful, common spreadsheet skills that will help leave
