Course Description:
The main focus of this course is on integrating a wider range of technologies that give a significant edge to mobile applications. Such technologies may include Facebook Connect, Dropbox, iCloud, Apple Maps, GPS API, Accelerometer API and others . This course will also explore how to create one’s own “Web API” using REST or JSON-RPC that cooperates with a mobile application in iOS. By the end of the course each student will have created an application of their own choosing that uses one or more of these technologies. Teacher will discuss (and if requested – assist in) uploading students’ applications to Apple App Store. All technologies mentioned will be discussed in class. However, the actual choice of the technologies practically implemented is subject to technical feasibility, time constraints of the course, and participants’ preferences.
Topics to be covered:
- Integration of Apple APIs: Apple Maps, GPS, Accelerometer, iCloud
- Integration of 3rd party mobile APIs: Facebook Connect, Dropbox, etc.
- How to create and consume your own web services using REST or JSON-RPC
- How to properly upload your application to Apple App Store
