Build Your First Awesome Web Application

Build an unsolicited advice splurting web application

Think user generated data, pop-up modals, validations and the best-looking-fonts-ever, all wrapped in an awesome looking mobile first web application.

We developed a virtual online class giving you step-by-step guidance on coding over ten advanced features into one awesome web application called Splurty.

Write some code, learn something new and build an awesome unsolicited advice generator (http://splurty.herokuapp.com/) web app.

Plus, you'll be able to customize your web application to your interests. Here's a few examples to get you thinking:

• You know you're an urban planner when...

• Startup Advice that doesn't suck...

• Or even just a place for people to vent (think of the viral site fmylife.com) - or you could go the other way and let people share things that make them happy...

Still on the fence? Here's a quick sneak peak at our syllabus (http://splurty.thefirehoseproject.com/).
