Students prepare for a career in mobile application development either as part of a team or as independent entrepreneurs. By leveraging their prior software development experience, students are able to focus on the core techniques, concepts, and architectures of mobile applications. Using an applied project methodology, students learn how to resolve common mobile programming challenges while gaining tangible experience in developing mobile applications. Students also develop effective technical communication skills, as well as gain exposure to vendor standards, guidelines, and best practices.
