The program had participants from various faculties including the Social Sciences, Science and of course, Technology. The course work covered basic Java syntax and Control Structures, Java Applets and Multimedia, Object Oriented Programming concepts, GUIs, Data Structures, Java ME programming and Accelerated Career Development Tips.
All participants were encouraged to develop projects applying concepts taught. The Computer Science (CS) students developed interactive games and applications while the Non-CS students came up with brilliant applications in their fields of study.
...with CS students
Bolaji (Pharmacy) developed an application that would give users details of possible drug interactions for a given drug. Femi (Physics) developed a desktop GUI application that shows the course list for students in his Department. He also has plans to develop a mobile version.
The program was creatively designed to not only pass on knowledge but empower people with application ideas & opportunities and printed lecture notes and relevant practical exercises were given for each session.
A message from one of the most outstanding students, Femi reads: “Thanks for the Java training. Your light will continue to shine brighter….I’m doing this because I know you gave us more that what we gave you for the training…”
I strongly believe that these guys will go on to develop life changing applications cutting across the mobile, web and desktop platforms in Nigeria and indeed Africa.
All Glory be to God for the opportunity to influence lives.
*Watch out for the launch of BuukWorm Mobile!
