The Fruit Stand Project

Nothing is more exciting around here right now than the Fruit Stand Project. This is a collaboration between Edward Kench, the founder of qewbi.com, and his 12 year old son Theo, the idea being to create a real-world coding experience for those seeking to become business software developers.

This project is designed to take absolute beginners through different areas of software development, business analysis, database design, and data analytics from one end of the development process all the way over to the other. By the conclusion of the series, participants will get the chance to work in several technology areas, such as SQL and Power BI, as well as business analysis and testing.

It's good to get highly skilled in an individual technology, but it's even better to become highly skilled in multiple technologies if you can. Also, for those who are new to software development, it's important to understand the concepts behind business analyis and quality assurance (software testing).

In order to create the highest software value, you'll need a solid understanding of the business. To aid in that, software development teams build models and designs to help translate the business ideas into working software. As part of this series, you will do analysis, modeling, coding, and testing. That's a full basket of fruit.
