Software Development for Mobile Devices focuses on the design and implementation of software in a mobile networking environment. The primary topics to be covered in this course include software engineering, network computing, graphics programming, and human-computer interaction for mobile devices. A modern mobile device with advanced networking and graphic features, including multi-touch interaction and motion sensors will be used as the primary platform for development in this course..
The iPhone/iPod Touch will be used as the hardware platform in COMP 4768. All assignments and projects will be expected to run on this platform. The software development kit will only run on the Mac OS X platform. As such, a shared laboratory (EN-2032) will be available for students to use if they do not have access to a Mac computer. The lab times (W 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM) will be conducted as help sessions for the lab tasks and assignments. A small number of iPod Touch devices will be made available on a sign-out basis for testing purposes.
Material from the iPhone Developer University Program and the iPhone Reference Library will be used in this course. Specific readings will be assigned during class.
The final grade in the course will be determined as follows:
| Assignments (3): | 3 x 10% | 30% |
| Milestone-Based Project: | 40% | |
| Final Exam: | 30% | |
| Total: | 100% |
You must achieve a passing grade in the project and final exam to pass the class.
