Abstract:

Mobile application development is challenging because applications are developed on one platform (like MS Windows) and deployed on a totally different platform like a cell phone or a BlackBerry device. Integrating mobile devices into computer programming courses can raise the level of excitement and satisfaction among students. This tutorial will help participants understand the different technologies that can be used to develop applications for mobile devices, with a particular focus on using the Java platform, Micro Edition (Java ME). This tutorial will be of particular interest to faculty interested in integrating mobile devices into their programming courses. Topics to be covered include:

  • Introduction
  • Motivation (mobile devices out ship PCs 20 to 1)
  • Mobile platforms
  • Designing mobile applications
  • Testing and deploying mobile applications
  • Integrating mobile devices in CS education
  • Teaching Guidelines
  • Measuring students learning
