After the administrative and logistical introduction to the course, this lecture will introduce Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements and how they are structured and created. The lecture will conclude with some guidelines on prototyping User Interfaces.

This lecture will give a introduction to Object Oriented programming in Java, web programing in JavaScript (including jQuery and Bootstrap libraries) and starting your development of your first Android application. The concepts are introduced on the beginners level.

In the first part of the lecture we will dive into the Model (of the MVC) and look at ways how we can store it and work with remote data.
The second part of the lecture will we will deal with strategies for navigating between your screens/views and how to implement. More specifically for the web we will look into Single Page Applications.

Lab 5 and project work help.

In this final lecture we will look into what is behind the user interfaces we've been working with so far. How do backend technologies (web servers, databases, backend MVC frameworks) fit into the whole picture?
We will also look at some modern frameworks and services (e.g. www.meteor.com, www.firebase.com, etc.) that help us build web applications with backend functionalities.
