Mobile Application Development

Mobile development is defined as the set of technical tasks required to develop a front-end interface and interaction with the user that features new ergonomics and communication channels or back-end support for mobile access to “the cloud”. Students in this program will gain a broad range of skills in developing various applications for mobile device platforms.
