Learning Objectives

The course is focused on the principles of design and development of interactive applications. Students will learn the fundamental application models, common programming paradigms and the basics of user interface development. Additionally, students will learn the basics of mobile application development, common software architecture models, communication and data persistence.

Students will perform laboratory sessions, learning how to use different technologies in developing interactive applications, among which Win32, Windows Forms, and Flutter. The latter will be used to develop mobile applications, with a focus on Android platform development.

Students will make use of the acquired skill in the development of a personal exam project, consisting of a mobile application for Android.

Teaching Material

The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it

Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment

Teaching

Frontal lectures and lab sessions. Individual project.

The course is available in mixed mode: lectures can be attended in presence in the classroom and remotely through the Moodle platform.

Attendance

Not mandatory.

Course books

Teaching materials available online through Blended.

Assessment

Individual project and oral discussion.

The project specification is published through the Blended/Moodle platform. The project must be completed individually. The specification document includes the minimum features that must be included in order for the project to be considered satisfactory. Each additional feature is presented and marked with the additional marks it brings, up to a maximum of 30/30.

The oral discussion serves as a presentation of the project's features and verification of functionality. The final mark is adjusted by at most 5/30.

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.
