As part of the CodeNinja competition we gave 3 workshops to the NUIG & GMIT students.
The first session was a talk on User Experience design & product development by Michael FitzGerald. The second session on February 24th was split between myself, talking about front-end web development, and Paul Killoran, speaking about back-end web development. The final session was on game development, with two talks: one by Sam Redfern on the Shiva game engine, and the second by Alan Duggan on iOS game development.
My session on front-end development covered the broad areas of HTML5, some newer features of CSS3, JavaScript, and a quick overview of some mobile frameworks. The idea behind the talk was to give an overview of some of the newer areas that the students mightn’t have come across in their courses. I also wanted to give some resources that would be useful to them in the project development.
