Content

In this course, you will learn the stages of mobile application development and how to apply your chosen technology to design and implement a larger mobile application. By the end of the course, you will understand the importance of responsible work practices and be able to function effectively as a project team member. You will understand the fundamental methods of mobile application development and their significance in technology selection. This course equips you with the ability to analyze and apply mobile application development methods and work both independently and in a team.

Together with your team, you prepare a planned documentation related to the mobile application, which includes the application's goals, use cases, UI mock ups, object and data model plans, possible data connections to external data storages, and you schedule the weekly goals as tasks. You participate in making the final report on the project and giving a seminar presentation.
