This is an announcement of ToTAL course “Practical Group Work for Leadership I/II <F>” to be held in 2022 3Q4Q and call for applications to the briefing meetings. The contents of the course is “Programming Boot Camp (PBC)”, which aims to enhance your “leadership” for developing and executing new values into society by practicing web application development proposed by yourself.
【Program Outline】
<Programming Boot Camp (PBC) – Development Phase>
During this phase, students are requested to develop web application proposed by themselves in 4 days (1 full day + 3-day camp) this coming December. Web application idea should be proposed by students. Students are to form a team of 3-4, and making a development plan. During the 4 days, web application experts will support you. In the end of the 3-day camp, the most excellent team will be selected by all participants. This phase should be 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 base) >
In order to develop web application smoothly in the above Development Phase by web application beginners, even if you have no knowledge about coding and language, we are offering the PBC – Learning Phase program for students in November (4 classes). During this phase, students will learn application development with “no code tool” by lectures and exercises by web application experts. By using this tool, students will be able to develop web application by making UI over the browser even if they are not familiar with programming codes. Even so, since minimum level of knowledge on programming is needed, fundamental knowledge can be learned 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) 2022” below.
