ID2216 Developing Mobile Applications 7.5 credits

Lectures, Labs and seminars. Half of the course consists of lectures and laboratory work in the above areas. Some areas are extensions of the above areas and are studied individually for students who want a higher grade. The second half consists of a project with seminars. The course is laboratory- and programming intensive.

An introductory course to programming mobile applications, focusing on user experience in mobile situations, mobile interactive elements, phone sensors, haptics and other actuators. The course applies the Model-View-Presenter principles to mobile applications by using JavaScript, JSX, CSS and the React Native framework for user interfaces, such as state management and frameworks such as Mobx, Redux, Jotai, Recoil. These front-end applications use data from back-end systems on the web by using web APIs. Students who have previously studied DH2642 can choose to learn new frameworks at the interface or state management level and reflect on the differences between mobile and web/HTML interactive elements and the types of interactive apps and designs that they enable.

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

• choose appropriate technical platforms or technical frameworks to create useful, data-persistent, interactive mobile web and platform-specific applications
• program interactive mobile applications according to Model-View-Controller or related architectures
• program systems with good use qualities that read data from, and sends data to, web APIs
• assess and improve the usability of existing interactive mobile applications
• cooperate with others to implement interactive mobile applications

in order to

• be able to compare technologies that are used for development of mobile applications
• be able to use mobile services for authentication, positioning and similar services
• be able to choose appropriate technical solutions to develop mobile applications and services
• be able to implement mobile applications by using appropriate tools.

Knowledge and skills in programming, 6 credits, equivalent to completed course DD1337/DD1310-DD1319/DD1321/DD1331/DD1333/DD100N/ID1018/ID1022.

Corresponding to the course Human-Computer Interaction, introductory course (DH1620/DH2620) and programming competence, elements of object-oriented programming.

• LAB1 - Laborative work, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• PRO1 - Project work, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Students who have studied DH2642 need to complete an extra laboratory assignment within the framework of LAB1 because DH2642 and ID2216 overlap in terms of parts of the architecture (such as Model and Persistence).

In oral examinations, each student should be able to give an account of the whole assignment and the whole solution.

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.

Students who have not passed earlier course versions are examined through supplementary assignments as agreed with examiner.

In this course, the EECS code of honor applies, see: http://www.kth.se/en/eecs/utbildning/hederskodex.
