<pOur Guest speaker is Darren Baptiste, a renowned IT entrepreneur. He is the devealoper of the very popular and sorely needed app Cop Watch. He will be engaging us in a discussion about the creative process of software development and his experiences.
We will be learning to use the MIT APP inventor 2 which is the platform we will be building our app. MIT APP inventor 2 is a web/cloud based application, so we will be working on internet connected workstations.
This is an Android development platform, so if you have an android device please bring it so that we can run the app on the your device. For those who do not have an android we will be using desktop simulators.
