Content

The course consists of lectures introducing various technologies that can be used to implement applications for mobile devices.

The topics discussed are commonly and currently used cross-platform mobile technologies that can be used to implement applications for various mobile platforms. The students deepen their competence by selecting one technology for a mobile device and implementing a research assignment on the topic area in small groups.

The research assignment includes familiarization with the selected mobile technology and creating a small-scale mobile application. The results of the research assignment are documented and presented in a seminar. The research task can be continued as a course assignment in Mobile Project course.
