EECS course on Mobile development - Spring 2011

Tweet

Many incoming students ask me about course selection. I thought I will share the link to a new course I came across on mobile development offered by computer science department. This course involves hands on development, so you will need to have some programming background.

Excerpt from the course url(http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.083/):

Two years ago, it was rare for non-professionals to implement mobile applications. Even a year ago, building a working app was a challenging semester-long project. Today, implementing a mobile app can be a straightforward exercise. The challenge is to have good ideas for what to build. This course deals with how to pick project ideas and rapidly bring them to fruition through the prototype phase, how to function as an effective rapid development team, and how to present your work in a compelling way. You'll also get a hands-on introduction to current MIT research and development around mobile computing.
