    Course Description: Today's applications are increasingly mobile. Computers are no


    longer confined to desks and laps but instead live in our pockets and hands. This course
    teaches students how to build mobile apps for Android, iOS, and Windows 8, the trinity
    that is today's mobile operating platforms. Students learn to write both web apps and
    native apps for Android using Eclipse and the Android SDK, to write native apps for
    iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads using Xcode and the iOS SDK, and to write web apps
    for both platforms. The course also touches on Windows 8 application programming, so
    as to provide students with a stepping stone for application development in the mobile
    operating system of their choice. Additional topics covered include application
    deployment and availability on the corresponding app stores and markets, application
    security, efficient power management, and mobile device security.

    1. TESTS 30%: Two CATs and assignment, which focus primarily on materials covered in
    class and from the textbook, will be administered during the semester. Students who
    cannot take the scheduled tests must discuss with the lecturer in advance. Makeup CATs
    and exam will not be given except with prior notification and under extenuating and
    unavoidable circumstances. The burden of proof of said circumstances is on the
    student. Makeup examinations will usually differ from the original exam, and may be
    practical or oral.

    2. FINAL EXAM 70%: A comprehensive exam will be given during the University exam
    schedule. The format of the final exam is relatively similar to the format for the tests.

    3. TEACHING/LEARNING METHODOLOGY

    exercises

    4. ATTENDANCE: The attendance policy follows the guidelines stated in the MKU
    Catalogue. Students must assume full responsibility for any loss incurred because of
    absence, whether excused or unexcused. All work missed because of absences will
    receive a grade of zero. Excused absences are those resulting from the student’s
    participation in a University-sponsored activity, from recognizable emergencies, or from
    serious illness. Students are encouraged to participate actively in class discussion,
    practical programs and presentation.
