Unit description

Introduces students to the development of applications for mobile devices building on introductory programming, design and data communications units. Techniques for the design and development of client applications on mobile devices will be explored and applied. Modern middleware for interacting with server, peer-to-peer and cloud based data will also be examined and used in practical applications.

Unit content

1. User-centred design for mobile device interfaces

2. Programming web-based applications for mobile devices 

2. Programming stand-alone applications for mobile devices

3. Mobile device architecture, interfaces and operating systems

4. Client-side middleware for connected mobile applications to cloud-based services.
