This module advances students' knowledge of Java and its use as a basis for programming mobile devices.

The module will use J2ME and standard emulators for the implementation of user interfaces, graphics and, for example, games applications.

Students will explore the limitations and constraints of programming for mobile devices whilst extending their programming skills and knowledge in this area.

On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to

• Demonstrate an appreciation of the constraints of developing software for mobile devices.
• Use the J2ME API to construct event driven interfaces.
• Develop and demonstrate mobile appilcations using device emulators.
• Use appropriate tools to deploy mobile applications.
• Understand the basis of software communication between mobile devices and servers.

Student achievement will be measured by an In-Course Assessment, which will include the production of software for a mobile device.

Java Programming 2 is a pre-requisite for this module.
