Innehåll

The course continues the subject of user experience design by first focusing on high-fidelity prototypes and wire-frames for mobile and wearable devices. After introducing the technology of connected devices, the focus shifts to the design for smart devices, and cross-device interactions.
The development part starts with the recapitulation of object-oriented programming in JavaScript. Cross-platform development of mobile applications is introduced next with the help of mobile application frameworks and libraries such as PhoneGap and Parse. It includes building a mobile application being able to manage user accounts, store data, and use different services provided by the mobile device platform.

The topics covered in the course include:
- user experience design for mobile, wearable and smart devices
- high-fidelity prototypes and wire-frames
- IoT (Internet of Things) – the technology of connected devices
- embedded device design
- user experience design for connected products and cross-device interactions
- object-oriented programming in JavaScript, UML class and sequence diagrams
- cross-platform development of mobile applications with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS
- mobile application frameworks with Foreign Function Interface (FFI)
- building a CRUD Application (Create-Read-Update-Delete)
- integrating applications with social web APIs
- location detection, camera access and user management
