Course Overview
Do you have an interest in App development? Are you constantly being asked to show students how to create an App? Do you teach a computer class and have a desire to take your own class in a new direction through App development or are you simply intrigued to know how to build your first app? Either way, this intensive 2-week online Adobe Brackets Bootcamp is for you.
This professional learning course will develop
your understanding of what apps are, how they are made, and what differentiates
one app from the next. You will learn how to create different kinds of Apps
using Adobe Brackets, add custom design and layout to coded functionality, and publish
your apps using PhoneGap Build. The five apps you create will serve as models
for you to use when bringing these lessons back to the classroom.
Course Objectives
By the end of this two-week intensive bootcamp, you will:
- Understand what an app is and how apps differ from one another.
- Create five different apps.
- Publish an app through different mobile platforms.
- Learn best practices for creating apps in the classroom.
- Use key functions of JQuery and CSS.
Prerequisites
This is an intermediate course. You should have a working knowledge of HTML, CSS and jQuery, as well as know your way around the Internet.
If you have never used HTML, CSS or jQuery before, we recommend exploring these two courses from codeacademy before this course starts:
- Learn HTML & CSS via codeacademy - http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/web
- Learn jQuery via codeacademy - http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/jquery
We will be using Adobe Brackets to create the apps, and Adobe PhoneGap Build to publish. It will be helpful to have both on your computer.
Course Credit
We anticipate that successful completion of this course will require approximately 25 hours of your time. After successfully completing this course, you will receive a digital credential that states that you successfully completed 25 hours of professional development. You may share this with others to demonstrate your achievement.
Course Structure
The course blends asynchronous learning and live online classes over an intensive two-week period.
Note: This special Adobe Brackets Bootcamp App Design course will be different from other courses you may have taken on the Adobe Education Exchange in the past. Please review the course structure information below to ensure you understand how to participate in this course.
What to Expect
The course kicks off Friday, June 13 . All content will be pre-loaded for the entire course on the Adobe Education Exchange on that date. You may work at your own pace through the asynchronous content on the Exchange at any time during the two weeks. We provide a suggested pacing to keep you on track during this intensive time period.
For the first week, you will
be attending a live class session (or viewing a recording) and creating an app
each day. For the second week, you’ll be creating a final project that you’ll
submit for review by the instructors. We’ve also built in time for you to catch
up if you need to miss any days during this intensive course period. All work
must be submitted no later than midnight UTC on Sunday, June 29 if
you’d like to graduate and earn course credit.
