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

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 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.
