This is a fun course where you learn to make apps for an Android smartphone, without needing any programming experience! Instead we use a visual tool called AppInventor to piece together apps. Students have created all sorts of fun apps, including games, SMS and chat apps, location-aware apps, and more. You can check out some of the projects from previous semesters here. In many cases, you can use your own Android phone for this class. Otherwise, there will be a limited number of Android devices available for checkout. In either case, you'll get to see your app running on an actual phone, and will be able to show your friends and family your latest creations.
The course counts towards your Core B1 requirement, and also counts towards a Computer Science minor.

We are about to start the social/texting section in class. You are going to need a SMS texting plan for your Android phone for one month. You can split the cost of the plan with your group members. Here are some example plans you could choose from: If you already have a texting plan with T-Mobile and AT&T, and do *NOT* have an iPhone, you may be able to use your SIM card in the Android phone instead. Please stop by for details. |
