7.2 Description of the topics to be covered

In our 20-day web development course using Airtable as a no-code platform, we have designed a comprehensive curriculum that will cover a variety of topics, ensuring that you gain a solid understanding of the platform and its capabilities. Let's go over the main topics you will be learning throughout the course:

Airtable Fundamentals: We will begin by introducing you to Airtable's basic concepts, such as workspaces, bases, tables, fields, records, and views. You will learn how to create and navigate through different elements within Airtable, as well as how to import and export data.

Data Management: This topic will cover data entry, validation, and manipulation within Airtable. You will learn how to add, edit, and delete records, use various field types, create filters and sorts, and apply conditional formatting to improve data presentation and organization.

Formulas and Calculations: In this section, you will learn how to create and use formulas in Airtable to perform calculations, manipulate text, and extract information from your data. You will become familiar with various functions, such as IF, AND, OR, CONCATENATE, and more.

Relational Data and Linked Records: We will explore how to create relationships between tables in Airtable using linked records. You will learn how to build complex data structures, create lookups and rollups, and leverage the power of relational databases in your web applications.

Automations and Integrations: This topic will cover how to automate tasks and workflows within Airtable using built-in automations and third-party tools such as Zapier and Integromat. You will learn how to create triggers, actions, and conditions to streamline your processes and improve efficiency.

Visualizations and Reporting: In this section, you will learn how to create visualizations, such as charts and calendars, and generate reports from your data using Airtable's built-in features and external tools like Google Data Studio.

User Management and Collaboration: This topic will cover how to manage user access, permissions, and collaboration within Airtable. You will learn how to invite team members, assign roles, and track changes in your bases.

Best Practices and Performance Optimization: We will discuss various best practices for building and maintaining web applications in Airtable, such as naming conventions, documentation, data validation, and performance optimization techniques to ensure your applications run smoothly and efficiently.

Web Application Development: Throughout the course, you will work on several hands-on projects to develop web applications using Airtable as a no-code platform. These projects will cover different use cases and industries, allowing you to gain practical experience and build a portfolio of work.

Final Project: At the end of the course, you will apply everything you have learned to create a fully functional web application, presenting your project to the class and receiving feedback from your peers and instructors.

By covering these topics, we aim to provide you with a well-rounded understanding of Airtable and its capabilities, as well as the skills needed to create web applications using the platform confidently and effectively.
