In this course you will learn how to build native apps for Android and iOS.
The goal is to learn how to design and implement mobile applications (apps) for
phone/tablet. You will learn how to create prototype apps, based on customer requirements. During classes we will build apps, that demonstrate the features mentioned below.
We will cover best-practices, used in mobile development. Students will be able to run their app on both software simulator, and on physical devices: phone and tablet.
Today it is possible to develop mobile apps, which can solve many of today’s user requirements. Using built-in sensors, such as GPS, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Pedometer, Altitude, Microphone, Camera and Magnetometer developers can build apps which are far more functionality than desktop applications. Add in the connection to Cloud services, such as Database, Authentication and Artificial Intelligence(AI), the mobile app has access to all the services a desktop application has.

The student will gain necessary knowledge to build a prototype mobile app, based on user requirements. This includes knowing the necessary development tools, cloud-services and programming languages.

The student will learn how to work with the IDEs Android studio and Xcode to build native mobile applications. The student will learn to combine previous knowledge in order to solve problems. Also the skill to find relevant information on the internet will be trained.

The student will learn how to convert user-requirements to a mobile application. Learn the different steps in mobile develoment, from talks with the client, prototyping and integrating with cloud services. The student will gain competence in building well-organized apps, using extendable and reusable code base.
