Discover how to build your own product from scratch quickly and easily with Corvid and Wix. In this 8-hour workshop broken up into four 2-hour sessions over 4 weeks, you’ll learn the ins and outs of building interactive web applications and applying basic JavaScript to Corvid. This is the perfect course for a beginner coder who wants to stretch their early JavaScript skills and build impactful apps without the background setup.
What You Will Build and Learn
The workshop focuses on creating a bike sharing product. Bike owners will be able to list their bike’s location, a picture, and the hourly rate. Users without bikes will be able to search all of the bikes listed and then request to rent the bike. You will leave the workshop with a finished product prototype. While building the bike share app, you’ll learn how to:
-
Create pages with the Wix Editor

Write front-end Corvid JavaScript that changes the page dynamically

We have a lot to cover! The course is designed as a beginner’s intro to Corvid, but assumes that participants understand the basics of JavaScript already. No other prerequisites are required.
To test your readiness, we’ve designed a self-assessment here to give you a sense of where we’re starting. If you aren’t familiar with any of the topics in the assessment, we’d still love for you to join us! Just be prepared that we’ll move quickly.
