Today, we celebrate the participants in our ongoing coding boot camp (Cohort 30), which began on January 13, 2025, for their hard work and devotion.

On Thursday, April 10, 2025, with about a week left in the boot camp, our participants demonstrated various web applications they developed from the ground up using the newly gained knowledge, skills and abilities.

Here, we highlight four of them that can deal with some of the issues facing the world today.

Transportation: Peddle by Ifeoluwa

Having another means of transportation that is accessible and efficiently run that does not use fossil fuel energy could bring some relief to the masses
Peddle is a bicycle rental platform where can hire bicycles at the nearest station and return them to the closest station to their final destination.

It was developed using PHP OOP for the backend and frontend technologies including HTML, CSS, Bootstraps, and Javascript/Jquery.

Business : BizNaija by Mary

BizNaija is an online business directory where businesses can enlist for increased visibility.

This allows SMEs to save money on advertising while also increasing sales of their products and services.

Food: Foodie Go by Samuel

Foodie Go makes it easy to order and receive food products online, particularly fish and poultry.
It will eventually lower the cost of food for the general public by increasing supply, making it more accessible, and lowering logistical costs.

House Rent: Easy by JB.

Rent-Easy is a property classified ads that enable Landlords and prospective tenant direct interaction eliminating middlemen (agency’s fee) thereby reducing housing cost.

Using frontend technologies like HTML, CSS, Bootstraps, and Javascript/Jquery with Python Flask for the backend, JohnBosco developed Rent-easy.

At Moat Academy we upskill our participants to the point that they can develop web applications on their own even before before the program is over.

We are happy to have remained dedicated to our mission of raising remarkable software developers!

Wow! Nice! Most coding schools will only teach you concepts but will never show you use cases or how to manifest what you've learned into a full-blown concept(app, software, or website).

We have existed for more than 8 years and have groomed software talents that have gone to work for companies in Nigeria and abroad. We are celebrating our participants that have put in the effort to turn their ideas into products. Please, no negatives; encourage them!

Nice work. It would be very good if we can have an app that could help to give real time traffic update per time. I know this could be difficult to do, but to start with, you can run your locality and see how it fare. I believe if it works well, investors can buy into it and widen the scope. This will definitely give your company effortless promotion within and outside the country.

In addition, the app can work with cameras installed on major roads, receiving feeds from it and sending its to the app.

I recently watched the Moat Academy Demo Day, and it was inspiring to see participants unveil apps that tackle real-world issues. One that caught my eye was a tool designed to enhance e Commerce experiences. It reminded me of some of the work I’ve seen on the amasty site, where they offer innovative solutions for Magento stores. Similar to the apps showcased, these tools aim to streamline business operations and improve experiences, making it easier for store owners to manage their websites effectively. It’s great to see how tech continues to evolve for practical applications!

Google Maps does that

Besides how would the app make enough money to cover cost of operations and satisfy investors

Coding is not easy. Kudos to them all. I wish to learn more as I am a beginner but time is a problem as I am fully engaged.
