App Workshop will serve as a hands-on intensive course to build
high-quality Urbit apps ready for end users. It serves as a follow-on
to App School with more focus on building complex apps.
2023-03-02 20:06:58 +03:00
This course will cover a span of more complex programs and prepare
students to write and publish sophisticated production-quality apps and
app suites that leverage Urbit's platform. AWL is architected pairing
content overview lessons with guided tutorials. Compared to Hoon School
and App School, there is less scaffolding and more telling you where to
look.
