HTML5 App Development

MAD9135

• Level 3 – Fall Semester
• 70 normative hours
• Official Course Outline (opens new window)

Students leverage acquired HTML5 and JavaScript skills to create both web and hybrid apps. Students learn to develop web apps using modern UI frameworks such as React, Angular JS, Vue, Backbone or Ember.

Students also learn to develop hybrid apps using Frameworks such as Cordova, PhoneGap, and React Native. The use of task automation and productivity tools is also explored.

Hands-on development of applications for multiple platforms is the goal. Designing to conserve battery life on mobile devices is stressed.

Class Schedule

Each section will have two (2) synchronous two-hour classes per week, via Zoom. These will combine lecture and hands-on lab activities. These sessions will be interactive. Depending on your environment, an audio headset may be of significant benefit.

Please sign-in to Zoom a few minutes prior to the start of class to account for any connection issues and avoid possibly missing the first part of the class.
