Creating websites and smartphone apps
Is your child destined for a profession related to IT? Or is IT one of their hobbies and they would like to progress in this area? This course is for them! Each term can be taken independently. Term 1 In the smartphone application development course, the emphasis is on learning programming concepts and interface design. Students will see how to design an effective interface in terms of user experience (buttons, dropdown lists, menus, icons, etc.), then how to programme each element to obtain the desired results. This step will lead them to understand the fundamentals of programming: loops, variables, conditions, arrays, etc. Term 2 In the web development course, students will go through the different stages of designing a static website: how to structure it well so that it is properly referenced with the HTML language, then customise the appearance by adding a graphic layer simplifying navigation for users using the CSS language. Finally, depending on the pace, they will approach the JavaScript programming language to add more advanced features to their site. Term 3 During the free projects, the student will be able to choose an idea for a smartphone application or website to bring it to fruition. Prerequisites Ability to read and write Prepared to type on a keyboard
