Description

Amazon Honeycode enables you to build fully managed, customizable, and scalable mobile and web applications for personal or professional use with little to no code. With this practical guide to Amazon Honeycode, you’ll be able to bring your app ideas to life, improving your and your team’s/organization’s productivity. You’ll begin by creating your very first app from the get-go and use it as a means to explore the Honeycode development environment and concepts. Next, you’ll learn how to set up and organize the data to build and bind an app on Honeycode as well as deconstruct different templates to understand the common structures and patterns that can be used. Finally, you’ll build a few apps from scratch and discover how to apply the concepts you’ve learned.

You’ll also be able to invite and share your app with people you want to collaborate with.

Who is this book 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.

Amazon HoneyCode offers a low-code options to create useful interactions without expensive investments in software. Build Customized Apps with Amazon HoneyCode, Packt, by Aniruddha Loya offers some initial instruction to dive into creating unique apps for your individual team or business. The first section covers basic access with a free account and options for pay models based on team size or desired rows. The next section introduces some of the existing templates within HoneyCode and the final integrates to build more advanced options. The book starts out with all the basics one needs, accessing the site, creating a free account and building an initial app. It mentions how to test the app, and then interact with that app through either web or mobile devices. One of the strong points is that HoneyCode enables a number of easy-to-use automations that can trigger other functions when things occur in your app, such as passing a due date, or starting a new activity. Even by itself, the first section is sufficient to get you on your way with HoneyCode. The second section covers some of the templates that already exist inside HoneyCode to provide a shortcut to launching apps. Although fairly basic, the author does include the need to start with requirements in every chapter, a tool I found extremely useful. Too many coding adventures start with unclear requirements and then get bogged down in scope creep rather than actually meeting the need. The final section moves from basic templates to integrating multiple options to create more detailed work options. Although each function works effectively, one of the problems I had was that the capstone app is designed for realtor to sell and manage properties but those contradicts the early statement that HoneyCode is more for small teams and their interactions rather than globally accessible tools. The cost model rapidly scales as more team members and data rows are added to each app, which I would see as happening quickly with any moderately successful realty site. Overall, this was an excellent introduction to HoneyCode. As an app creator based on data models, the handling of data and the potential to individualize interactions seems superb. With no software background, you could use this book to rapidly create some options to solve common small business problems. If you run your own business, and are looking for a step between recordbooks and spreadsheets, and fully investing in a work management solution such as Salesforce, HoneyCode is probably the right stop for you and this book will help.

I have skimmed through the book and even though I didn’t know much about Amazon AWS, the book introduces you to the world of AWS and Honeycode. You can follow the steps provided and create your own app. I would’ve liked some more comparisons showing how Honeycode is better than the existing & more popular no code platforms. All in all, a great addition to my collection.

Tridweep Aug 24, 2022

I had never heard of Honeycode before I chanced upon this book. The technology is intriguing since it has the reliability of Amazon AWS. The book has all major details that you need to know before using the AWS to create apps. The fact that you can modify existing templates without any coding is a life saviour for professionals and businessmen. The methods of customization has been simplified in the book. Definitely worth a try for everyone who is looking to create apps without coding.

Sonali Aug 25, 2022

I have always been intrigued with programming but never had the chance to try my hands at it. However, this book is a welcome knowledge gainer on Amazon Honeycode. The author has a deep knowledge of the technology and Aniruddha has shared his piece of mind in an excellent manner. Explanatory details about data management and the drag drop routine is pretty straightforward and welcoming. I am looking forward to creating an app using the instructions in the book!

Anish Abraham Jan 29, 2023

As a beginner with no IT background I have just started reading the book and find it interesting and beginner friendly. I already love it and will definitely be writing a detailed review once I've read the whole book. So far I can say it very engaging.
