Learn, Compete and Win
Want to have a fun and productive summer? We’ll help you achieve that through our ITWorx’s Coded Summer Programming Competition.
What’s Required?
To develop a low-code / No-code platform tool that builds simple web page using pre-defined widgets in the beginning as a POC, and can be extended and continued later as a complete low-code / No-code platform to build full web or mobile apps.
The project will be developed as an open-source project (on GitHub) under the Apache-2.0 license.
Low-code/no-code (LCNC) development platforms are types of visual software development environments that allow enterprise developers and citizen developers to drag and drop application components, connect them and create mobile or web apps.
Low-code and no-code systems offer the same fundamental benefits, but their names indicate the key difference between these two methods of application development.
Low-code development requires users to do some level of coding, while No-code development targets non-technical users in various business functions who understand business needs and rules but possess little or no coding experience and programming language skills. These citizen developers can use no-code to easily and quickly build, test, and deploy their business apps.
Required Technical Knowledge:
The developers who will participate should have hands-on experience in the following technical tools and concepts:
- HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
- Bootstrap 5.
- Web front-end framework: Angular or React.js
- Databases: MS SQL server.
- Programming and OOP concepts.
- C# language.
- .NET Core 3.1 or 6.
- ASP. Net Core Web API
- Entity Framework Core 3.1 or 6
Why Join?
- A great way to invest in yourself during this summer; you’ll be learning from the field experts.
- All contestants will receive a certificate of participation from ITWorx.
- Each team member of the winning team, with the best proposed application, will win a smartwatch.
