Schedule ** A provisional daily agenda is available here **
Registration and Welcome opens at 7:30 am on Thursday August 19. Lectures and practical work will run until 5pm, with perhaps the occasional break for good behaviour. Additional optional workshop time will happen from 5pm to 7pm.
Friday will start with optional workshop time from 7am to 8:30am. Then lectures and practical work will resume until 4pm.
Day 1 will be aimed at beginners, and those with some familiarity with web apps. The first session on day 1 (8am to 10am) will be a rapid recap of the fundaments of web applications. However those with no previous web-app experience will be encouraged to review some material before the event. The rest of the day will be aimed at leveraging the NetTalk templates to build a web application.
Day 2 will contain more advanced material, and will be aimed mostly at those who have already built one or more web applications. A more detailed look at the underlying app structure, styling apps using custom CSS, and writing, or integrating, additional JavaScript are just some of the topics that will be covered. Day 2 will contain value to all but the most junior of developers.
We encourage attendees to bring laptops (or desktop computers) as the opportunutiy will exist for you to do practical work, on your own applications. Naturally in an event of this nature some of the material will be either well known, or too advanced for your current skill set. During these times we encourage additional workshopping.
