Executive Summary
The ranks of businesspeople who are capable of developing applications are swelling due to a combination of the technology-savvy Millennial generation entering the workforce, the proliferation of easy-to-use development tools, and burgeoning demand for applications. These businesspeople don't want developers' jobs; they just want to get things done. Their enthusiasm, however, may lead to poorly designed, insecure, and unscalable applications that application development professionals inherit. Instead of trying to shut down end-user development, application development professionals should help users succeed so that everyone wins — most importantly, the business. The application development professional's call to action is to embrace end-user developers to amplify — not squash — their contribution to the business by bringing some semblance of order to unfettered end-user development and by collaborating with end-user developers on strategic projects.
