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

Classroom according to the schedule

Materials

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

Teaching methods

In the study module, up-to-date methods and materials are utilized in the teaching of cross-platform mobile programming. During the study module, students will familiarize themselves with different cross-platform mobile programming techniques and methods. At the beginning of the study module, the student chooses the method of completion: the options are a project-based approach, focusing on a specific cross-platform technology to deepen skills with the chosen technique, or alternatively, completing smaller exercises throughout the study module that cover multiple different cross-platform mobile programming techniques.

Completion alternatives

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