Hackitout - Learn coding for free

Hackiout an app that helps you learn coding for free
Home page

Inspiration:

Lack of free resources to learn in-demand industry oriented coding skills. Youtube has many tutorials to learn coding skills but all the tutorials are scattered. We felt the need of an app that has all the resources at one place making it more accessible to learn web development, data science, AI & machine learning and languages like Java, python, C++, etc.

What it does:

The app has a collection of tutorials that will help you learn in-demand skills like web development, data science, AI & machine learning and languages like Java, python, C++, etc for free

How we built it:

We built it in android studio using java language for backend and xml for frontend. We collected all the resources from YouTube, then we designed the app's frontend, and then worked on the backend to get it all together.

Created a appealing home-screen design
Created multiple screens to host courses.
Embedded Youtube videos

Challenges we ran into

Initially we developed the app with a very simple frontend design but later we created a more appealing design to ease out the use of this app.

Creating a scrolling view
Connecting multiple screens of app using intents.
Updating the homescreen design.
Embedding YouTube videos in XML.
Communicating virtually due to pandemic and implementing solutions was a difficult task.
