Description:

Lately, internet users are moving from computers to smaller devices such as smartphones and tables. Studies show that the number of online searches and online sells that regular internet users make are increasing in this kind of devices and decreasing on computers. Therefore, mobile application development is steadily growing, in revenues and jobs created.

In this module, the student will learn how to develop and deploy mobile applications for the two most popular and used Operating Systems: Android and iOS. The module will emphasize on the unique design and the creation of apps. The use of a dedicated framework and tool prevents the student from dealing with the technical details (coding).

The module is composed mainly of seminars and will run throughout the semester (14 weeks)
