Tools you need for this course

In this course all lessons are demonstrated using Visual Studio Code, a free (and really good) cross platform code editor.  You can of course use your preferred IDE or Code editor of choice and any operating system you like… well as long as it’s either Max OSX, Windows or Linux.

Is this course for you?

This course is extremely practical.  About 90% of our time is spent actually building the application.  If you are the type of person who gets the most out of learning ‘by doing’, then this course will be for you.

Please note that we do not start from zero coding knowledge.   Whilst this is aimed at beginner/intermediate level, you will need to have some basic javascript knowledge (not a lot is needed) or if you are coming from another programming language then you should be fine with this course.  It’s designed to take you from beginner level to having the skills to build a much more significant application.

What do we do on this course

We are building a social events application, much like Facebook events or Meetup.   Building a social application gives us opportunity to build more than just a simple CRUD application.
