Coding for Entrepreneurs bridges the gap between inventor and entrepreneur

In a fast-paced technology-driven economy, establishing a web presence is vital for marketing and selling the fruits of your entrepreneurial efforts; designing an original product or service is insufficient if not integrated on the Internet in some way. Coding for Entrepreneurs empowers inventors and designers by teaching them how to build websites, and all the accompanying services, in order to sell or advertise their products or services online.

 
The project is designed to technical and non-technical backgrounds alike.

The ability to cheaply carve out your own personal web space means entrepreneurs can do away with brick and mortar shops, instead selling their original inventions directly to the public. The only catch being that a certain amount of web development prowess is necessary for handling this matter independently without contracting a web developer. Coding for Entrepreneurs uses a project based approach to teach these skills rather easily to the eager minded.

You will learn the programming languages of Python, Django, CSS, and JQuery — all essentials for web development and web app building. The projects completed through the course related directly to the business side and communicate how to quickly start a web business, test market, and scale it. Essentially,is a bootstrapping approach to launching your product easily and independently.

The course structure
The course is taught using 100 short three- to ten-minute videos, and hands on projects. Each project is preceded with a three-hour lecture, and 25 hours of reinforcement and review.
Unlike other courses of this nature that simply teach coding fundamentals, demonstrate an example, and assign an exercise, Coding for Entrepreneurs provides assignments that can generate income when used in conjunction with your inventions. Step-by-step video tutorials help you work through your projects and an online community exists to ask questions and share answers.

Project Examples
• Construct a landing page with sign-up forms and e-mail notifications.
• Set up an eCommerce site from the ground up using HTML, CSS, Python, Django, and JQuery. This allows customers to search for products, process payments, and even recommend products.
• Create a web-based app that locates restaurants with happy hours using geo-locating services such as good maps, effectively demonstrating the fundamental inclusion of API and GPS services for creating integrated apps. This knowledge is applicable to your own designs.
• Additionally, there’s a project aimed at learning to program the open-source minicomputer BeagleBone Black and its microcontroller.
