4. Old ways of building no code business solutions
Data View Web Parts
Before SharePoint 2013, views could be directly edited and conditionally formatted.
SharePoint Designer Customized Forms
Before SharePoint 2013, forms could be directly visually edited.
InfoPath Forms
It’s still around, but harder and harder to deal with, with modern browser incompatibility, and no mobile story.
InfoPath Repeating Tables
Painful. These were buried in form library forms, or non-existent in list forms. No easy way to do a relational db.
Access Databases
These have been around a long time and are very comfy and familiar, but have many drawbacks.
