CSCI 251 - iPhone Application Programming

FDR: SC
Credits: 4
Planned Offering: Spring 2014 and alternate years

Prerequisite: CSCI 209 or equivalent programming background approved by the instructor. In this course, students learn how to develop programs for the iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch, the most popular smart-phone platform in use today. Classroom lectures on the Objective-C language and CocoaTouch development environment are supplemented by extensive hands-on programming assignments, leading to an independent application project of the student’s devising. Williams School faculty guest lecture on the issues surrounding the iPhone App Store’s novel business model. The course culminates with a presentation of each student’s application, and an optional upload to the iPhone App Store to see how well the application sells. Lambert.
