COMP 2052 provides an introduction to mobile application development using tools and scripting languages rather than object-oriented programing languages. This hands-on course follows on from COMP 1850 and (COMP 2015 or COMP 2132) and assumes students already understand how to develop and deploy web sites with HMTL5, CSS3 and JavaScript. Participants do not need to be object-oriented programmers however they should have significant experience using mobile apps. Students will design and develop web-based, native and hybrid mobile applications using jQuery Mobile, Android Studio, Apache Cordova, and other tools. Labs and exercises focus on how to implement entry level, mobile applications for Android and other mobile web platforms. Topics include a comparison of native, hybrid and web based mobile technologies. Starting with the fundamentals of web-based mobile applications, Android Studio and Apache Cordova are used to implement web-based, native, and cross-platform mobile solutions. COMP 2052 is an elective in the CST/PTS Diploma, the Web and Mobile Development (AMD) and Applied Web Development (AWD) associate certificates from BCIT Computing. Upon successful completion, students will be able to choose from a variety of tool sets for platform independent mobile and web application development. This course will only be offered once per year in the April term.
