Week 1 Discussion

DQ1 Building Your Own App

This course introduces you to designing and developing apps. It gives you the tools to create an app of your own.

What kind of app do you want to make? Who is the target audience? What platform would you use? Would you charge for it or make it free? Why would somebody want your app?

Post your response to the discussion area.

Respond to at least one of your peers. In your response, consider sharing thoughts that would improve your peer's proposed mobile app.

DQ2 Android and iOS

Android is an open development platform, one on which rich applications with potentially game-changing feature sets can be deployed. Developers can use the Android device hardware, create location-aware apps by accessing GPS

and other sensory information on the device, set alarms to remind users of events, include notifications and other information on the status bar of the device, and more.

How does the iOS developer platform differ? What can iOS do that Android can't? What makes a developer have a platform preference?

Provide two differences for your answer.

Post your response to the discussion area.
