IMAD (Introduction to Modern Application Development) is a MOOC on how to build web/mobile applications offered by Hasura, under it's banner Hasura Education. IMAD is offered in partnership with IIT Madras.
If you just want to experience the joy of building an app, or have dreams of finding a job at one of the hottest tech companies or actually building one or just understand the app world that you cannot escape, you have come to the right place!
lieve building technology can be both fun and empowering. We also think one can never be too young or too old to learn new things, and that applies to technology as well!
IMth:
- video lectures
- an app development portal for you to build your web application as you learn the concepts
- a discussion forum for peer-to-peer learning
By the end of this 8-week course, you would have learnt about the Internet & the fundamentals of app-development while actually building your own web-application. On successful completion of the course, students will be eligible for an IIT Madras certification. Course toppers will also have the opportunity to take part in an 8-week product development internship at Hasura.
Please look through the FAQ section for the required reading materials prior to starting the course.
IMAD was first offered in September 2016. It has been taken by over 250,000 students! Watch the feedback videos above from students who took IMAD.
Testimonials

MOOCs & E-learning- the way ahead for the IT professional
"I have taken several courses with Udacity in the past. The difference I felt was the way IMAD focused on the practical sessions. That gave me the opportunity to visualise all of that was being taught, and that helped immensely. Special thanks to Tanmai and team for that as well.”
Krithika, a mother who moonlights as software developer.
"Can you learn web development from home with two pre-schoolers in tow and actually build your own profile/blog app from scratch? With IMAD, apparently you can."
Evolve or die - a startup developer's experience with IMAD
"I’m relatively a newbie when it comes to front-end development. Through IMAD I was able to learn of frameworks like bootstrap and jquery. I have however watched some on-line course material from a few sites, and IMAD with its practical sessions is really a league of its own."
Taking IMAD, with a toddler in tow!
"First of all, before I begin my IMAD story, I would like to appreciate the tremendous efforts and guidance put forth for setting up this course. To me, it looked like I was part of the IMAD team working from home. We had been a TEAM because I believe we had respect, trust and care for each other in helping us learn."
