| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To develop the student's proficiency in utilising hybrid mobile app development tools to create apps capable of running on multiple mobile platforms. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Demonstrate practical knowledge of the major components of a hybrid app and how they function together. |
| 2 | Draw on the facilities of a hybrid app development framework and supporting tools to implement interactive hybrid apps capable of performing common app functionalities. |
| 3 | Make judgements on the use of appropriate design, testing and documentation processes for hybrid mobile applications. |
| 4 | Assess security implications in the development of hybrid mobile applications. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Overview of hybrid app development frameworks and IDEs (e.g. Ionic, React Native, Flutter). Use of APIs within the available frameworks. Creating custom classes and inheritance. Controls and target-action within the IDE and GUI. Design implications inherent in touch-based applications e.g. memory management, battery life, screen display, navigation controls. Creation of applications that exploit the features of the modern mobile devices e.g. accelerometer, audio, video, touch and multi-touch on multiple devices. Security analysis of hybrid apps. |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| Key concepts and ideas are introduced in lectures. In the lab sessions, the students will develop and implement practical aspects of mobile applications. The labs will involve the use of existing IDE and GUI tools for the development, deployment and testing of GUI applications. |
