Genesis developer training

What you'll learn​

This is hands-on developer training where we're going to follow the creation of an application from start to finish. By completion, you will be an effective developer on the Genesis low-code platform.

Prerequisites and assumptions​

  • You know how to code, ideally familiar with the Java ecosystem and Kotlin language. Even better if you know some TypeScript and some basic Linux commands.
  • You have taken the Foundation course.
  • You are familiar with basic capital markets concepts such as orders, trades and position.

Programme​

This training is divided in 5 sessions, or days; each session covers specific resources of the platform to build a Trade & Positions application from the very beginning.

Should you need it along the course, feel free to use the final application as a reference.

Also, at any point, use the search function of the documentation for extra information.

Estimated total effort: Daily 4-hour sessions for 5 days
