2 part, in-person class:Saturday, April 30th, 10:00am - 1:00pm EDTSunday, May 1st, 10:00am - 1:00pm EDT In this workshop, we will learn software development fundamentals and their application to diverse fields such as healthcare, genetics, and other medical applications. We will go through the best practices for agile software development, including planning, design, and development; and the techniques to understand, negotiate and estimate the time it will require to create effective requirements for the development of optimal products. For example, let&#x27;s imagine we are developing a system that controls administrative aspects of a clinic such as insurance checks, payments, appointments, medical history, diagnoses, and lab results. For such a system, we need to know which users are interacting with the system (nurses, providers, clinical staff, etc.), and we need to know if the system is interacting with external systems such as private insurance companies. Then a negotiation begins to build the essential features of the system according to the timeline.We will recreate the software development environment, go over basic information about data structures, Python, and the popular Amazon Web Service (AWS) platform that is broadly used. As we design our software we will define the concepts of modular programming and microservices.See the detailed topics covered during this class below:<ul><li>Software cycle development </li><li>Explain each phase such as planning, design, and developments</li><li>Practical examples</li><li>Requirements document </li><li>Use case diagrams and sequence diagrams</li><li>Data structures </li><li>Python </li><li>AWS fundamental Lambda functions, events, modular programming, and microservices </li></ul>This class is designed for people new to software development, but if you have a strong CS background and are interested in learning more about the unique constraints of designing for healthcare, please join us!COVID-19 Safety Notice: As many of you have heard, New York City will be lifting the indoor mask mandate and vaccine mandate beginning March 7, and individual businesses can set their own guidelines. Genspace has decided to continue our mask and vaccine requirement for both participants and staff for the time being. We made this decision to protect our staff and participants, who may be immunocompromised or caring for loved ones who are at risk. We will re-evaluate this policy on April 15. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding to keep our community safe. Participants age 5+ must show proof of full vaccination (we recommend using the <a href="https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/excelsior-pass-and-excelsior-pass-plus" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Excelsior Pass</a>). This is a socially-distanced event. Masks are required to be worn for the duration of the event. If you are feeling unwell, suspect that you have been exposed to COVID-19 or test positive, please do not attend. You can find a list of symptoms and a self-checker tool on the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/coronavirus-self-checker.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CDC website</a>.
