Course Description: App Development

Full Year               Grades 9-12        5.0 Credits

Prerequisite: Introduction to Computer Science, Advanced Placement Computer Science, or by permission of the instructor

 

This is a first course in applied computer science. It is designed for the students who have some prior knowledge of computer science and have taken Introduction to Computer Science Course.


This elective course introduces students to various applications within computer programming from a hands-on modeling perspective. It explores the development of Java applets and full-featured apps for the Android operating system. Students will gain experience in back-end and front-end processing as well as in using both graphical user interface (GUI) and text commands.

 

First part of this course focuses on Processing, which is a Java based programming language, development environment and online community. Initially created to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach computer programming fundamentals within a visual context, Processing evolved into a development tool for professionals. Today, there are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning, prototyping, and production. Processing now runs just as easily on a mobile platform with Android.



During the second part of the course we will move to android development using the ideas created in processing. This will include creating android apps with all of the functionality, transferring it to eclipse, testing them with android API, testing on emulator and installing app on android devices.
App Development may be taken at any time in the computer science sequence of course offerings and does not prepare students to take the AP Exam in Computer Science. Students who take App Development are encouraged to continue their study of computer science by taking Advanced Placement Computer Science.
