This is an announcement of “Programming Boot Camp (PBC)”, a part of ToTAL/OPEN Programs. This program aims to enhance your “leadership” to develop and execute new value into society through practicing developing web application proposed by yourselves.
[Program Outline]
<Programming Boot Camp (PBC) – Development Phase>
During this phase, students will develop a web application proposed by themselves in 4 days (1 full day + 3 day camp) in the coming December. The contents of the web application shall be proposed by the students. Students are asked to form a team of 3-4 and make a development plan. During the 4 days, web application experts will support the students. In the end of the 3 day camp, the most excellent team will be selected by all participants. This phase is compulsory for all students who applied to ToTAL’s course of “Practical Group Work for Leadership I/II <F>”.
<Programming Boot Camp (PBC) – Learning Phase (voluntary basis) >
In order to develop web application smoothly in the Development Phase by web application beginners who have no knowledge on coding and language, we are offering a PBC – Learning Phase program for students in Oct-Nov (5 classes). During this phase, students will learn “application development with “no code tool” through lectures and exercises by web application experts. By using this tool, students will be able to develop web application by making UI on the browser even if the students are not familiar with codes for programing. Even so, since minimum level of knowledge about programming is needed, fundamental knowledge will also be taught during this phase. This phase is for students who want to join (voluntary basis) and will not be counted as a part of ToTAL course of “Practical Group Work for Leadership I/II <F>”.
Agenda and schedule of both “PBC-Development Phase” and “PBC-Learning Phase” are referred in Article 3 of “Outline of Programming Boot Camp (PBC) 2021” below.
