Start time: 2024-11-25 at 15:00

End time: 2024-11-29 at 17:30

Location: Stockholm School of Economics. Application required.

Low Code uses visual interfaces to enable powerful web app development in a fraction of the time it traditionally takes. In this beginner-friendly bootcamp, all participants will get to develop a fully functional web app (frontend and backend included) within 12 hours. The participants will get to vote on what type of app the bootcamp will focus on (see information below).

Participants are limited to 15. Make sure to submit your application no later than October 15.

The bootcamp will be led by Daniel Nylander who is an SSE and SSE Business Lab alumn. Daniel is currently developing the fit-tech startup ORKAI.

Structure of mini-bootcamp:

Day 1: Intro to Low Code, setting up, and starting the build.
Day 2: Phase 1 building, frontend focus (structuring, styles, responsiveness, and more).
Day 3: Phase 2 building, backend focus (sending, receiving, and modifying stored data).
Day 4: Vote on the next set of features we implement! The build will change based on what areas the participants want to dive deeper into at this stage. Build continues with combined frontend/backend focus.
Day 5: Finalizing the build. Ending with take-aways, and learnings on how to apply what we’ve learned to other professional scenarios and ventures.

A fika will be provided during each session.
