CISP 340 - Mobile Application Development I

3 Credits
This course explores the tools, platforms, and techniques required to develop applications for highly mobile and compact devices. Mobile applications will be designed, developed, tested, and deployed that provide computing services to the mobile user. The design implications between traditional desktop application development and mobile application development will be investigated during the course of application development.

Grade Note(s): A grade of C or better is required to take the next course in the sequence.
Prerequisite(s): CSCI 231
