Learn how to further develop your idea into a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with this exclusive 5 day hands-on bootcamp. Be fully equipped with all the techniques, tools and skills you need to develop, from start to finish, your mobile or web application.

What will you learn?

Day 1 – Creating your Prototype

Building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is an art that combines science and technology to find new business solutions. Different from what is commonly perceived, design thinking does not focus only on the aesthetic part like colors, font type, font size, etc. In fact, design thinking helps to identify the key problems and how to solve them in innovative and creative ways. During the wireframing session, you will then learn how to address the problems you identify, and using paper and pencil to design the simplest form of user interface (UI) that gives your users the best user experience (UX).

Day 2 – Speaking the front-end languages

Now you have your design and wireframes completed and prepared to turn them into a working product.  Most people are turned off by technical jargon when they are developing their early products and prototypes. Day 2 will guide you through how to turn these designs into working web applications, with a brief introduction to front-end tools such as HTML and CSS, and the tools that can help you to get it done with very minimal technical coding required.

Day 3 – Handling Data and Interactivity

Once you have your UI ready, we will make sure they are functioning and able to gather and display data. You will also learn how to use input elements for your users to enter data, and using lists, cards and table to present the data. You will also learn about buttons, links and other elements to enhance the user experience when they interact with your application.

Day 4 – Going Mobile

There are cases of applications where users need to use your application on their mobile phone to interact with your applications such as taking photos, or finding location based information. You will get to learn how to create a hybrid mobile application, that allows you to write once and run on both iOS and Android.

Day 5 – Deploying your project and What’s Next

The last day will see you focusing on completing your project based on what you have learnt in the past 4 days. We will guide you to set up and deploy the code to a cloud-based server, and also cover how to set up analytic tools to monitor the performance of your website, and key metrics to watch for when you start to gain traction.
