Web and Mobile Certificate

I’ve resumed teaching high school CS full-time, but I am also now working towards an advanced certificate in web and mobile applications development.

I was perhaps a little overzealous and enrolled in too many interesting classes initially:

  • Linear Algebra (this wasn’t required for my CS degree, but a lot of grad CS courses require it, if I choose to go on to a Masters/PhD)
  • Advanced Web Frameworks (part of the web and mobile applications program)
  • Android Development (a free course through CodePath)
  • iOS Development (another free course through CodePath)

I have decided to drop the linear algebra course since it is the only one that requires specific meet times, which made things a bit challenging since the course meets right after I finish teaching, when my brain was ready for a nap.

Here’s the first Android assignment I’ve completed, Flixter. It uses NYT’s Movie API to populate a TableView with information fetched from a query.

You can find more details about the app and its source code on Github!

We also did the Flixter assignment in the iOS class using Swift:
