Study Guide

Objective

The student is able to design and implement platform-independent mobile applications, taking into account the differences between different mobile platforms.

Content

- Native Mobile Programming vs. Platform-Independent Mobile Programming
- Different implementations of a platform-independent mobile application
- Development of a platform-independent mobile application with the selected technology
- Platform-independent mobile application development process: finalization, testing and deployment

Location and time

Teaching in the online environment. (videos)

Guidance according to the schedule:
- Zoom (for online students)
- Classroom (for day students)

Materials

All the necessary study materials for the course will be available on Moodle and on the study module's dedicated website. In addition to the provided materials, up-to-date resources from the internet will also be utilized.

Teaching methods

The study module is implemented as a virtual course.

Independent study:

- The actual teaching related to cross-platform application development is primarily conducted through pre-recorded videos.

Guidance sessions:

- During the course, there will be 8 hours of in-person guidance at the school (for day students) and 7 hours of online instruction (for online students).

Materials:

- The materials can be found in the study module's Moodle workspace and on the study module's dedicated website.

Completion alternatives

To be negotiated separately with the course instructor. Possibility for recognition of prior learning.
