Program

By default the bootcamp consists of 2 sprints of 2 week. Each sprint covers a specific set of skills and increases in complexity. After signing up for this bootcamp, together we will agree on your personal schedule, matching your background and availability.

But there is a catch: Low-code Academy finds it important to add value to your learning. Therefore your personal schedule is a commitment. A commitment for us to coach you in the best way possible, and for you to put in your effort to learn. Which effectively means that your scheduled period is an agreement between you and us. Like a normal classroom trainer led course: be there or be square.

Sprint 1

The first sprint is setting the stage. You will build a Mendix app from scratch, guided by a fixed set of user stories. These will guide you through the commonly used Mendix development patterns. Starting with setting up your domain model, defining security, front-end and application logic. At the end of the first sprint you will have developed a complete stand-alone web and mobile application.

Sprint 2

Once you’ve learned how to model a good stand-alone application, it’s time to improve and extend your application, your knowledge and skills. During this sprint we will focus on modeling best practices, extendibility of a Mendix app and data processing. After this sprint you will be ready to join a Mendix team and contribute to the app development as an intermediate Mendix developer.
