I was listening to one of the recent SharePoint Conference 2014 recorded sessions with Asif Rehmani and Mark Gillis and they mentioned this great Microsoft resource for information about creating no code solutions on SharePoint 2013. In addition to the the numerous no-code solutions provided on the site, there is also a download link for the SharePoint Composite Handbook, Version 2.
[From the SharePoint - TechCenter page]
Let’s not write code, until we have to write code. This is a motto to live by, whatever technical hat you might wear: power user, decision maker, administrator, or developer. The SharePoint and Office platform makes no-code solutions a practical reality. A SharePoint Composite combines data, documents, and business process in a useful, productive way by assembling, connecting, and configuring the basic building blocks of functionality available in SharePoint 2013 and Office 2013 so you can rapidly create business solutions.
