ATLS 4519/5519-070/071: Studio: Mobile App Production
Course Description
In this course students will have the chance to turn that idea for an app they’ve been thinking about into reality. Taking an idea for a mobile app through the design process includes ideation, prototyping, and development, resulting in a minimum viable product(MVP).
Going through the whole design process will enable students to define their goal, identify their target audience, and work through the app design and development process. Using the Agile software development methodology students will create prototypes, get user feedback, and quickly iterate. At the end of this course students will have created a MVP.
