Lecture

Introduction to mobile development. This first lecture, we'll be looking at the mobile industry and some its properties. We'll focus on the development side of things, and identify some of the big players, and how to relate to them as a developer.

The second hour will be more on alternative ways to create mobile content, and the relation to the big ecosystems our there.

This course only has one book-ish resource, titled "Mobile Developer's Guide To The Galaxy (15th edition), and I've written a small part of it.  It has got a fair reputation as an overview to software development for mobile and what you can do in terms of making apps. Please find it here (creative commons, free download):

If you want a hard copy for your bookshelf, you only need to pay the postage as exaplained on Enough Software's site.

We'll also look at the course overview, togetjer and the different parts; lectures, lab and project. There is no written exam, and delivering a good project report and good quality oral dissemination are key to successful participation in this course.
