How to Build a Modern Web Application Workshop

Learn how to build a modern application in this guided workshop. Join Nicki and AM for a brief introduction to the concepts of modern app development, step-by-step instructions to build a sample app, nerdy witty banter, and probably some side commentary around anything .NET. We invite all developers/programmers to attend – no AWS is experience necessary. Familiarity with Python will be helpful, but is not required.

Modern applications are built as independent microservices that communicate over well-defined APIs. They are run by small, independent teams using code packaged so it can be run anywhere. This makes applications faster to develop and easier to scale.

The workshop will walk you through the steps to create the sample web application. You will learn to host the app on a front-end web server and connect it to a backend database. You’ll also learn to set up user authentication and will be able to collect and analyze user behavior.

By the end of the workshop, you will build a sample website called Mythical Mysfits that enables visitors to adopt a fantasy creature (mysfit) as pet. You can see a working sample of this website at: www.mythicalmysfits.com
