You Can Still Write Code If You Want To
Crowd Machine technology is extensible. If you’re a developer who likes to write code, you can write your code in your language of choice, express an interface to it using a RESTful API and then call your API from the Crowd App Studio.
You can also build RESTful APIs using the Crowd App Studio and call them externally from your traditionally built Apps. Either way, the result is a much faster time to App delivery.

Base Two // User Interface and Application Structures
Once you pass through Base One and get a strong understanding of the basics, you’ll move into building your first data structure for a commercial application. We’ll guide you through building a product catalogue and an ordering system – introducing you to core skills that you will need for app development.
Base Three // Rules, Rules, Rules
In Base Three, you’ll learn how to to use ‘Rules’ – a natural expression language to implement advanced functionality into your applications. Rules are a critical aspect of Crowd Machine’s no-code approach to application development. By the end of Base Three, you’ll have learned how to implement rules that provide the functionality for the structures that you built in Base Two.
Base Four // Integration and APIs
In Base Four, you’ll learn how to configure your application to communicate with an external system. Crowd Machine uses Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to integrate and exchange information with third-party systems.

You’ll complete two modules using Crowd Machine’s Page Designer and learn to design a user interface for a commercial application.
Base Six // Advanced Business Applications
By now you’ll have a strong understanding of what goes into an application and how to build one from scratch. So, in Base Six you’ll learn how to build an advanced business application that’ll teach you about topics such as security, portal development, navigation, and data import/export techniques. This will set you up for success in Base Seven and ensure you have the ability and knowledge needed to complete Crowd Academy.
Base Seven // Design and Build an Application
Utilizing everything you’ve learned from Crowd Academy so far, you’ll now design and build an application to achieve final certification. After you’ve submitted your app, you’ll be graded and given feedback. Upon successfully completing Base Seven, you’ll be a certified Crowd Machine developer.
