Course Planner
Mainstream computer science education is expensive! For students who engage in online learning courses as an alternative to a degree course with a specific syllabus to follow, it can be hard to keep track of what you need to study and when to give yourself the breadth and depth of a formal education.
Enter: Course Planner This app aims to help you organise the courses you need to take each month- it provides a broad overview of what courses you’ll need to work on month-to-month, and when they finish and end. It allows you to ensure you are spreading out your personal learning goals evenly throughout the year so you can get the education you need in a balanced and timely fashion.
We built this app using Java inside Android Studio. It supports Android devices and can be downloaded as an apk file, or ran directly in Android Studio by cloning our GitHub repository.
Only one of our three team members had previous experience in app development, and one of our team members had no previous experience in Java or OOP. There was a lot we had to familiarise ourselves with during the very short 10 day development time we had, but despite this we managed to complete all of our intended features.
