App-Centered Software Development
level of course unit
BachelorLearning outcomes of course unit
Students acquire the basic knowledge to develop, test and publish apps for different application platforms.
The students:
- Can use device-specific functions of app-centered application platforms programmatically (e.g. position determination via GPS, short-range radio systems such as RFID, Bluetooth)
- Can use alternative input methods such as multitouch or sensor technology in apps
- Can plan and implement apps for cross-platform scenarios
- Know the specific requirements for developing, testing, and publishing apps for different application platforms
