Computer Science-Information Technology 559—Advanced 
Programming for Mobile Devices 
Schedule and Syllabus Fall 2016 — Section 3185 
General Course Information 
  Course Load: 3 Units 
  Prerequisites:  
 The usual prerequisite is knowledge of Object-oriented C++ equivalent to Pierce 
Computer Science 540.  It is permissible to substitute Computer Science 552, but a 
knowledge of C++ is essential.  However, for this semester, I will be teaching the course 
using the Swift language introduced by Apple in 2014, and updated extensively to 
version 3.0 as of June 2016.  As a result, one semester of any programming language 
(C++, Visual Basic, Java, or even a scripting language) should be adequate preparation.  
We will update the formal prerequisites if this semester is successful with Swift. 
 General familiarity with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is useful, and may be 
acquired through courses such as CS550.  
  Section Number: 3185 
  Class Meets: Monday Nights  
 Lab: 5:45 to 7:50, Room 1505 
 Lecture: 7:55 to 10:00, Room 1414  
Catalog Description: 
This course provides students with advanced programming concepts and skills for creating mobile applications for 
today's most popular platforms. Students will learn to create multi-screen, multi-touch applications; send/receive 
SMS and emails programmatically from within applications; read and update contacts through public contact API; 
use media and browser content providers; use sensors and location-based services programmatically; develop 
services; create a home screen widget. Students will learn about exception handling, will create manageable user 
preferences and will learn to incorporate security and permissions. Students will learn to sign, publish and 
distribute developed applications.  
Note that this course is only aimed at creating applications for Apple’s iOS operating system.  If 
you have a pressing need to do an Android project, please consult the instructor.  (The Computer 
Science Department is proposing an Android-centric course to the Pierce Curriculum Committee, 
but we cannot guarantee when this will be approved and scheduled.)  Also, some of the elements 
in the catalog description have become generally deprecated since the course was originally 
developed, specifically use of the user’s contact information, and will be deprecated in this 
course. 
The planned instructional schedule for this evening course is shown in the table below.

Student Learning Outcomes 
One. Use Apple Xcode or Android Studio to create an application 
Two. Develop basic iOS or Android applications with text and/or touch input 
Three. Implement multi-view applications 
Four. Process an application submission through the Apple App Store or Google Play 
Notes: 
1. Quizzes are intended to both give you feedback on how you are doing, and to give the 
instructor some idea on how the class is progressing. The schedule of quizzes depends on class 
progress and similar factors and is subject to change.   Some may be take-home quizzes. 
2. Grading standards are modified to take the sum total of the points earned by the student 
during the semester, divided by the total assigned, to develop the percentage for the grade. 
This will be approximately: 
Quizzes - 15% (Best three scores) 
Lab Assignments - 30% (Best three) 
Final Project - 40% 
Final Exam - 15% 
Grading Standards are projected to be: 
A = 90% 
B = 80% 
C = 70%  
Additionally, the following achievements will result in awarding automatic grades: 
- Submitting an  application to  the Apple App Store or Google Play – automatic B, Final exam 
may raise to A 
- Having your application accepted in the Apple App Store or Google Play– automatic A (final  
exam is still required) 
3. Quizzes and tests will be open notes, no electronic devices.  
4. One or two extra credit assignments may be provided at five points each.  
5. The Los Angeles Pierce College Conduct Code for Students is incorporated by reference. Please 
refer to the college catalog.  
6. Cheating will be detected by a number of methods. You must plan on doing all of your work 
yourself. Detection of cheating will result in penalties at the instructor's discretion, up to and 
including exclusion from the class, a grade of F, or such other penalties as are appropriate.  
7. Students should not collaborate on graded lab assignments unless this is approved in advance. 
8. This instructor is on campus during the day.  I will make myself available for scheduled office 
hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2:30 to 3:30 in room 1505. 
9. If needed, you may mail assignments to J.H.Murphy, Computer Science, Box 716, Los Angeles 
Pierce College, 6201 Winnetka Blvd., Woodland Hills 91371.  
10. The instructor will probably arrive late to class during the semester. In the event that I am 
certain I will be late, I will attempt to contact the Computer Science software lab. If I have not 
arrived, please do not leave the lab before 6:15, or a later time if notified by the Computer 
Science department.  
11. Course texts – there aren’t any yet.  Due to the recent introduction of Swift version 3.0, none 
of the usual authors have produced a book suitable for a course text yet.  The instructor 
expects that some acceptable books will become available during the semester, and will make 
recommendations at that point.  In the meantime, we will use the online Apple iBooks for 
Swift 3.0 as a reference, and recommended reading will be assigned from that.  You will need 
a Mac, iPad, or iPhone to read the iBooks.  Alternatively, you may use the iMacs in the 
Computer Science lab (room 1505).  The instructor is not aware of software to read iBooks 
under Windows or Linux, but it may exist. 
12. Quizzes will be returned by the following week. Lab assignments usually take longer. Not all 
assignments will be returned at the end of the course. If you turn in work late, it will be 
graded late.  
13. You will be required to perform simple arithmetic in some quizzes and tests. Calculators and 
cell phones may not be used in any way during a quiz or test.  
14. Late assignments are usually accepted for one week only. Please hand in late assignments 
immediately upon entering class. Missed quizzes can usually be made up on the following 
week only. No late work or makeup quizzes will be permitted after week 14 (Dec. 4, 2013).
