Lecture information Time (Fall 2018): 13:00-13:50pm, MTR Classroom: EN-1051 Instructor: Dr. Yuanzhu Chen Office hour By appointment Course Description 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. Course Prerequisite COMP-2760 or 2008 COMP-3715 or 2006 COMP-3716 or 2005
Hardware and Lab The iPhone/iPod touch/iPad will be used as the hardware platform in CS-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-1066) will be available for students to use if they do not have access to a Mac computer. The lab times (15:30pm — 17:00pm, Tuesdays, select weeks) will be conducted as help sessions for the lab tasks and assignments. A number of iOS devices will be made available on a sign-out basis for testing purposes.
