Python Development Techdegree Graduate 13,554 PointsCourse feedback
The video asked for feedback about what I'd really like to see. Well the following is my study aim and I would be super happy if I could learn this:
Front-end -Create a small app or publishing on a website that runs or is seen on an android phone *Which receives regular data from a server (let's say a nicely formatted table with some google maps routing links embedded) *Which allows users to change values in the table and scan a barcode *Send back info to the server of the former changes, current datetime, location and the value of the barcode
Back-end -Pickup CSVs from a (WebDAV) server -Read the former CSVs, logs the feedback from front-end and uses that to create an updated table
With this knowledge I can let people in the field communicate with the office and each other and let them execute their tasks more efficiently. Plus, it would be super helpful for me as a beginning programmer to go through the entire process once of getting info from a server, running a back-end server, creating an android app or updatable website.
I would really appreciate advice on how to learn this. Also, if this were part of a techdegree for example, I would sign up straight away.
Thank you so much. I hope this was the right place to leave this feedback.

Treehouse TeacherHi Sebastiaan!
While you won't necessarily learn how to build the exact applications that you mention in your post, the great thing about that Techdegrees is that each unit culminates in a project that showcases the skills you have learned in that unit. This will not only teach you how to do certain specific things but it will also help you learn how to approach projects in general as well how to figure out how to do things that you might have previously not known how to do (which is really what being a developer is all about).
To learn more about the specific projects you will build in the different Techdegrees, check out this page and click on the Explore button for the different TDs.
As for how to build the projects you mention, which are fairly involved, I would recommend breaking them down into small pieces, which you can work on figuring out individually. So instead of figuring out how to build an app that does all of these different things, which can be overwhelming, pick one small part and start by figuring out how to do that.
