WA1958 Mobile Software Design Patterns and Architecture Training and Courseware

Quick Enroll

 

As a part of the mobile strategy, enterprises need to address all major mobile platforms, like Android and iOS (iPhone, iPad etc.).  They need to make their core data and services available in these platforms. This course teaches students how to come up with a single vision of a mobile strategy and then implement it in Android and iOS.

This course teaches software patterns and best practices in mobile development. A pattern is a well regarded solution for a commonly occurring problem. After taking this class, students will be able to quickly come up with good solutions for most common problems in mobile application development.

Note: The contents of this course is not specific to any mobile OS. The hands on lab exercises can be taken in either Android or Apple iOS or both. Please let your sales representative know about your preference.

What will the students learn?

  • Application lifecycle patterns
  • User interface patterns
  • Business tier patterns
  • Notification patterns
  • Local data storage patterns
  • Location based services patterns
  • Background task processing patterns
  • Multimedia patterns

Audience

Architects and developers who are responsible for designing the architecture of mobile applications. Developers looking for more in-depth coverage of the API should consider WA1921 Android Programming or WA1920 iOS Programming first.

Prerequisites

For Android based hands on exercises, you must be able to read and understand Java. Basic understanding of the Android platform is helpful but not necessary. For iOS based hands on exercises, you should be able to read and understand Objective-C. Basic knowledge of the iOS API is helpful but not necessary.
