CS 04571 - Advanced Topics in Mobile Programming

Credits: 3

Students will explore advanced topics in mobile application development. This course explores mobile application genres and the various development tools, languages and environments which are used to create them. The subject starts by requiring students to investigate the mobile application landscape and study some general purpose software development issues and techniques. It then requires each students to choose one of three implementation platforms: iOS (for Apple iPhone), .NET (for Windows Phone 7) or Java (for Android) and to study application development for that platform, implementing a modest application as a core requirement of their study. The subject concludes by looking, in theory, at the different deployment and distribution mechanisms used by mobile application vendors.
