Learning Mobile Application Development

Textbook for Mobile Application Development (as specified by T.E.A. §126.39)

Status: In Development

Target Audience: High School/college students and others with little or no programming experience.

Target Delivery Date: Late Spring 2012

Description:

This textbook, while based upon Beginning Mobile App Development with Corona, is designed to teach programming skills and meet all curriculum requirements as proposed by the Texas Education Agency 9/2012 update, section 126.39.

Learning Mobile Application Development will introduce programming concepts, how to identify the needs and create the user interface for apps, provide opportunities for students to collaborate on the projects, conduct research in the mobile industry,  provide many opportunities to exercise their critical thinking skills, learn about their responsibilities as digital citizens, and gain additional technology skills.

Of course, the textbook isn’t exclusively intended for just Texas high school students.  I am writing in a way that will hopefully make the book accessible to anyone who would like to learn to create mobile applications but has no previous programming experience.
