# WEM Platform Documentation

{% hint style="info" %}
The **WEM Platform** has been designed to hide the complexity of software development and deployment, enabling any person to visually create applications without need for specific programming skills. At WEM we call this **Rapid Application Modeling**.

The WEM No-Code Platform was first created in 2010 and has been growing and improving ever since...

## The WEM Modeler

The **WEM Modeler** is the central point in the Platform, providing the No-/Low-Code environment to create and manage the applications.&#x20;

## The WEM Runtime

The **WEM Runtime** is the other significant element in the Platform, where the applications built in the Modeler get published to become available to the end-users.

## The WEM Expressions

The **WEM Expressions Reference** is where you will find everything about WEM functions, keywords, operators and data types. It also provides information about WEMScript, the specific script-language to use in powerful custom widgets and custom script blocks.

## Advanced: Building Widgets

The WEM Widget System allows you to create even more advanced add-ons to be used in your Project. This does require in-depth knowledge in order to do it correctly - so we have a specific section on this.
