Advanced iProgramming — Winter 2025 (?)

Description

The intention for this class is to serve as a continuation of CPSC 575 — iProgramming for Creative Minds. Here, you will put your iProgramming (iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, watchOS, tvOS)  and app development skills to the next level. You might want to …

  • polish and fine-tune your previous app, and strive to submit your app to the iTunes App Store,
  • regroup and work with a new team,
  • work on a completely different app (we will, again, have a number of client projects for you to choose from),
  • build an app from scratch, or
  • … a combination of the above.

Client Projects

In the first class, you will be introduced to a number of clients and their projects.

Groups and teams from both the Calgary startup community and the UCalgary campus community will present their project ideas to you. They all need help — to various degrees, they need a team that builds them cool apps, creates prototypes, brainstorms app ideas, explores ideas for apps, … and much more.

This will be another hands-on experience for you, close to the real world of software development. You interact with a client. You suggest your ideas. And you drive the app forward together with your customer.

YOU are the Driver …

Even more so than in last semester’s course, this class will all be driven by YOU. The class will provide the framework for teams to work on further iOS projects, expand your apps, learn about programming tools, app analytics, more about marketing, GUI design, deployment, and many more themes that will emerge over this semester. Again, all driven by YOU.

Let’s create a community of learning, advising, and mutual mentoring. Let’s make this valuable and fun for everybody.

Prerequisites:  CPSC 575; recommended: CPSC 333 or equivalent software engineering course.

It is highly recommended that you have taken iProgramming for Creative Minds (CPSC 575) in the Fall term before taking this course.
