Assignment
Many web developers spend countless hours optimizing their site and application for the computer interface only to find out later the majority of users access the site on a mobile phone. You need to take this into account from
Option 1
| Using phonegap (phonegap.com) and any mobile phone platform – create a mobile phone app (development mode only) from an existing web page or application that you have written. You can use any application you have built for this class – or applications built for COP4813 or COP3530. Produce a document (pdf or doc) that shows the operation of your app on the phone – use the screen capture utility of the phone to show the steps taken to produce the app. You do not need to compile the app for app store production (and that requires the paid version of PhoneGap) |
Option 2
| Your project may require the ability to be accessible and optimized for a mobile interface. In this option you will do what is necessary to create a mobile interface for the project (including authentication). |
