Overview

This is a Level 3 Information Systems (IS) course that continues your study of IS by furthering your knowledge and skills in relation to mobile application development. Continuing from INFS2605, this course focuses on the development of software applications using the Android platform. During lectures will be provided with an overview of mobile programming concepts and tools, and engage in case studies with regards to mobile App development and the current mobile market. During the weekly practical tutorials, students will use the Android Studio Integrated development environment (IDE) in learning how to design and develop a range of mobile applications. Students will be required to evaluate the quality of their own, and peers’, coding solutions.

This course is offered as a third-year elective from the School of Information Systems and Technology Management. A central aim of this course is to provide students with a foundational understanding of the technologies, methods and skills required to design and develop apps on the Android platform. This course aims to provide students with various concepts and skills that are essential in careers such as project designers and software developers. This course builds on from INFS1609/INFS2609 and INFS2605 and provides learning material useful for student’s project work in INFS3605.
