Today's Workshop covered the challenges of building internal tools and introduced Retool, a tool that helps engineers create valuable software quickly. Retool eliminates the need for boilerplate code and allows for practical and functional designs. It offers a drag-and-drop interface, pre-built API and database connectors, and the ability to write JavaScript or SQL. The Workshop also covered topics such as building apps, customizing components, uploading CSV files, editing and updating records, adding delete functionality, connecting to APIs, building interfaces, and setting permissions and customization options.

Most businesses have to build custom software and bespoke interfaces to their data in order to power internal processes like user trial extensions, refunds, inventory management, user administration, etc. These applications have unique requirements and often, solving the problem quickly is more important than appearance. Retool makes it easy for js developers to rapidly build React-like apps for internal tools using prebuilt API and database interfaces as well as reusable UI components. In this workshop, we’ll walk through how some of the fastest growing businesses are doing internal tooling and build out some simple apps to explain how Retool works off of your existing JavaScript and ReactJS knowledge to enable rapid tool building.
