About this event

Join us for a hands-on session where we begin building a real-world event photo application.

In this first session, we will focus on setting up the backend foundation of the app using Node.js, Express, and MySQL. Participants will learn how real applications handle user registration, login, event creation, and image uploads. In addition to backend development, we will also preview how the application will look from a user’s perspective.

Using Canva, we will walk through the planned UI design and app flow, and members will be encouraged to contribute ideas and suggestions for the user interface and overall experience. This session is beginner-friendly and designed to help members understand both the technical backend logic and how it connects to a clean, usable interface.

Join us to kickstart your journey in building real-world applications and be part of an engaging and interactive community learning experience!
