Wireless electronic communications have existed for nearly a century, but only with the evolution of affordable portable devices like cellphones, PDAs and PIMs, and handheld and laptop computers has computing become truly ubiquitous. Mobile content delivery requires an understanding of hardware, software and network constraints; global telecommunications issues; existing and emerging standards and protocols; and savvy design skills. This course covers technical issues, mobile operating systems and browsers; markup languages; information architecture; the Mobile Web Initiative; development tools; and more. Students design, hand-code and deploy a mobile Web site.
