IS 310 - Web Programming and Mobile App Development (3 Credits)

Prerequisite: IS 211
One of today’s fastest growing software markets is the mobile web, where portable devices interface with web applications to transact business, connect friends, and control machines. This course is designed to explore the core principles and techniques essential to building both websites and mobile applications. Interface design techniques that enhance existing websites for mobile viewing, how to incorporate markup and style sheet capabilities, and automating sites with scripting languages are covered. Specific platforms and programming techniques change over time, but the expectation is that students build working and deployable systems that may be displayed on contemporary web and mobile platforms. Security, performance, scalability, and maintainability are also discussed.
