Mobile Applications Development II (TAMZ2)
Instructor: Michal Krumnikl
This course continues from "Mobile Applications Development I". It focuses on programming techniques that enable the creation of applications that are much more demanding on the technical resources of mobile devices. These include applications that make intensive use of multimedia and network interfaces, such as games and synchronization applications. The teaching is focused on current mobile platforms – primarily Android.
