Course Overview

What you will learn

Course Objective

“Not all solutions should be apps, but all apps should be a solution”

- Me!

As no-code tools become the dominant method for app development, understanding the ‘why’ behind why an app is built is more important than ever.

What problem is your app trying to solve, and why?

This course will not make you a programmer, but rather, it is designed to:

Encourage exploration regarding each app's 'problem space'

Guide you through the stages of app development using mini in-class projects

Provide you with fundamental technical knowledge to communicate with different members of an app development team

Promote curious, creative, and analytical thought

Course Description

In weekly meetings, students will go through the various stages of developing an app. Topics will include app analysis, UX/UI, wireframes, prototypes, no-code tools, frontend, backend, & REST APIs. These classes are designed to demystify the various stages of app development so that you would know how to approach the process if you were to want to do it yourself in the future. This course meets for one hour once per week and all tools used in this class are free.
