This course is about the development of mobile apps. Students will learn how to design and create mobile apps using state of the practice IDEs, frameworks, languages, and technologies. They will learn how taking advantage of the various features available on modern mobile devices such as location-based services, sensors, and gesture-based interaction patterns. The concepts learned by students will be applicable to any mobile operating system. However a particular emphasis will be on the Android platform thanks to the use of actual devices and emulators.
Learning the design and development of mobile applications by using state of the practice IDEs, frameworks, languages, and technologies.
Upon completion of the course the students should be able to:
The following knowledge is assumed to be acquired and constitutes the necessary foundations for understanding the topics of the course and the exams.
The teaching is a combination between presentation of theoretical concepts, exercises and discussions. It is dialogue-oriented and with a practical approach.
Mandatory assignments (the laboratories) which must be completed during the course will be provided to the students. At the end of the course the students have to complete a final project consisting in the development of a mobile application and producing a document presenting the work done and how the technical challenges have been resolved.
The course program includes the presentation and discussion of the following topics:
During the course several practical laboratories will be proposed. The laboratories, that constitute an integral part of the course, will give the students a hands-on opportunity to make practice with the concepts and topics introduced during the lessons.

All class schedules are posted on the EasyAcademy portal.
The exam will consist in a written part (traditional open/closed questions, and exercises) plus the discussion of the individual project (i.e., the mobile app development). Each student will choose her/his most preferred project topic. The project proposal must be presented and approved by the teacher. The development of the mobile app must be completed before a student may appear for the final discussion. The final grade will be assigned by combing the evaluations of (1) the written exam, (2) the final project and its discussion, and, for a small fraction, (3) the laboratories completed during the course.
Students with Learning disability (DSA in Italian), should contact the teacher at the beginning of the course in order to discuss how to complete the course.
The acquisition of the skills foreseen by this course will be assessed via the written exam + the project which have been carefully designed to allow the teacher to verify whether a student is actually able to create a mobile application. Evaluation parameters include: the quality of exposure, the correct use of the specialist vocabulary, the ability to critically reason on the possible technical solutions to adopt and the capability to employ them in real contexts.
