Teach entrepreneurs and small business owners to build functional mobile apps using Glide — a no-code platform that turns Google Sheets into apps. Students build a client portal, inventory manager, event check-in app, and employee directory throughout the course. No-code is one of the fastest-growing skill categories. Most people do not realize they can build a working app in a weekend without writing a single line of code.
🚀 First Step
Record a module building a 'Client Project Tracker' app in Glide: connect a Google Sheet, design tabs, add user profiles, set up notifications, and publish to the web in under 20 minutes.
  • Have students build 4 complete, different apps during the course — each one teaches new Glide features and gives them a portfolio of templates they can reuse for clients
  • Include a module on 'Selling Your No-Code Skills' covering how to find small businesses that need custom apps and charge $500-2,000 per project
  • Create a Glide component 'cheat sheet' showing which component to use for each data type (choice component for categories, inline list for related items, etc.)
