• Let's get started at 09:30AM!
• Guidelines for Friday's presentation:
  • 20min per group
  • Emphasis on the software and the solution you have created
  • Present first on how you saw the problem in the case
  • Then go on to how you designed the solution and present the design decision
  • Finally: How does the software you present solve the case's problem?
  • Do not forget to present all of your vision. You probably did not have the time to implement everything during the week. Show your entire vision in the presentation before going to the implementation. How cool would your finalized solution be?
• We have discussion system available at https://lutcodecamps2016.slack.com . It works with your LUT email address.

• Cloud9 dev environment: https://c9.io/
  • See also http://daniel.favand.net/2014/11/21/developing-ionic-cordova-apps-in-the-cloud-with-cloud9/ (a similar approach, except they use Ionic and Cordova)
• Phonegap: http://phonegap.com/
  • Getting started with Phonegap: http://docs.phonegap.com/getting-started/1-install-phonegap/desktop/
• jQuery Mobile: https://jquerymobile.com/
  • Getting started: https://learn.jquery.com/jquery-mobile/getting-started/

Note: If you prefer any other mobile framework like TopHat or Ionic, you are free to use it for your project. Alternatively, you can make a web page with PHP or Node.JS and have just a mobile-friendly user interface. However, the project must be HTML5 + mobile friendly.

Programming experience(I hope you all have some…if not..then you'll have one during this code camp) and of course learning INTEREST is the most.

Yes. During code camp week we will brainstorm a software idea, design it and code it. Getting good ideas might sometimes be hard and thinking about different ideas before code camp makes it faster to get into coding part.

You are free to go exam, but code camp in intensive course and idea is to focus coding during the well, so it is recommended you prepare to exam before the code camp week.

Grading 1-5 from

• Idea and presentation of the Idea in wiki: 25%
• Coding of the implementation: 25%
• Presentation: 10%
• Code Camp Spirit: 20%
• Code camp report 20%
