Learning Objectives
This course will teach the basics of interactive application design and programming. Students will learn the fundamental application models, most common programming paradigms, and basic features of applications such as background services and programs with graphical user interfaces. Students will also learn the basics of mobile programming, common software architectures, GUI design approaches, and common issues with communication and data persistence.
Students will complete lab sessions focused on different technologies, among which Win32, GTK, and Flutter.
