The authors use Java ME to develop applications for the BlackBerry, a smartphone made by Research in Motion Ltd. These exercises are designed to encourage the students to develop applications for their own phones and to encourage them to think about how smartphone programming changes the interface and interaction models used in programming. The article also notes that the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada is developing curricula around the programming of smartphones through their Centre for Mobile Education Research. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2008 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
