Mobile Application Development and Strategy (Ontario College Graduate Certificate)

Mobile application development is one of the fastest growing sectors of information technology. This threesemester program will help students develop a wide variety of skills related to developing, testing and deploying applications for mobile phones and tablets. The main focus of the program is the two leading platforms in mobile devices: iOS and Android.

Java and Swift programming languages are covered in this program so students have an easier transition in developing mobile applications. Client-side development tools such as HTML 5, CSS3 and JavaScript are covered, as well as aspects of server-side programming to complement mobile application development.  To synthesize all learning outcomes, students will participate in either a co-op work term or applied project that will provide the experience necessary to improve graduate employability.
Students will learn strategies related to the development of mobile applications from a business perspective such as performing competitive research and exploring revenuegenerating approaches. They will also be exposed to the process of App Store and Android Market submissions.
