What will I learn?
Throughout the jump start course, we will be helping you build a functioning web application with a react in typescript front end and a Vertx and Java backend. We will be going through Git, the terminal, HTML CSS JavaScript REST request and APIs, databases, Cloud deployment and testing. Don't worry if any of that doesn't make sense. By the end of the course we'll have you comfortable with each of those topics.
What's the project?
Throughout the duration of the program, we will be making a blog-like application. In our app people will be able to view posts, create posts, “clap” (like), comment and more. You aren't required to follow along with your blog app, you can create whatever application you want. However will be providing help examples and weekly catch up code for our blog application - we’d still love to help you out with your project though.
Can I still join if I miss a meeting?
Every week we will be providing catch-up code to everyone before the start of the next meeting, to make sure everyone is caught up with where we are hoping they will be. The intention here is to help those who are stuck somewhere on their project, or were too busy during the week to make enough progress. Although this means that you aren't required to finish your weekly progress, we can 100% guarantee that you won't learn as much by skipping the work.
