Android Mobile Application Development provides a comprehensive overview of developing Android mobile applications. The course will use a range of technologies, including the Android SDK, software development design patterns, and data storage models. To build robust apps that can be integrated into a broader IT infrastructure we will incorporate libraries, APIs, and data from myriad sources. The course will address the flow of data across the network, taking into account scalability considerations for both the client and the server components of apps. The course will also explore various interaction models and mobile interaction design principles.
The class is project-oriented, and students will complete a project utilizing a simplified version of the Agile
methodology. The class will feature a combination of lectures and demonstrations. Selected research, tutorials, and related readings will contribute to class discussions and projects. Student progress is assessed by performance on weekly lab assignments, quizzes, and a semester-long project.
