Program

The bootcamp consists of 2 sprints of 2 weeks. Each sprint covers a specific set of skills and increases in complexity.

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.
