CEMC Workshop 2019

I’m hosting a software development workshop at the CEMC Workshop in Computer Science for Young Women, on May 17 2019. Here is the materials from the presentation:

• The slides from the workshop.
• The Birthday Planner application.

The example is a simple Android application that was built in Android Studio 3.4 for MotoG and Nexus phones, although it should run reasonably well on any Android phone.

If you want to learn more about programming, here’s some useful links to get you started:

Programming w. Javascript

Javascript is often used to teach programming. If you want to learn how to build a web page or an interactive web application, start here.
