Content
This unit provides a practical introduction to developing applications for mobile devices. Students will spend the unit being introduced to one mobile app development environment. Students will cover the design and the workflow of developing apps in one mobile application platform, a framework for constructing an application, as well as tools for developing, testing, and publishing software for the platform.
