This manual provides comprehensive information on mobile platforms and development environments, focusing on the key technologies shaping the industry. It delves into the dominant native platforms, including iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, as well as the device-agnostic HTML5 mobile web platform. The content also explores location-based services (LBS) as a distinct platform. Utilizing a sample application, TwitterSearch, the manual demonstrates programming across these various platforms, offering insights into their unique capabilities and development approaches.
The purpose of this manual is to serve as a guide for students, researchers, app developers, and system integrators. It covers essential topics such as the evolution of mobile platforms, detailed explorations of iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, the intricacies of the mobile web, and the significance of LBS. By presenting practical examples and technical overviews, this resource aims to equip readers with the knowledge necessary to understand, develop for, and integrate various mobile technologies effectively.
Mobile platform development has lately become a technological war zone with extremely dynamic and fluid movement, especially in the smart phone and tablet market space. This Synthesis lecture is a guide to the latest developments of the key mobile platforms that are shaping the mobile platform industry. The book covers the three currently dominant native platforms -- iOS, Android and Windows Phone -- along with the device-agnostic HTML5 mobile web platform. The lecture also covers location-based services (LBS) which can be considered as a platform in its own right. The lecture utilizes a sample application (TwitterSearch) that the authors show programmed on each of the platforms. Audiences who may benefit from this lecture include: (1) undergraduate and graduate students taking mobile computing classes or self-learning the mobile platform programmability road map; (2) academic and industrial researchers working on mobile computing R&D projects; (3) mobile app developers for a specific platform who may be curious about other platforms; (4) system integrator consultants and firms concerned with mobilizing businesses and enterprise apps; and (5) industries including health care, logistics, mobile workforce management, mobile commerce and payment systems and mobile search and advertisement.
