Weekly Quiz: Chapter 10 (Located in the LMS)

The week's materials contain very timely topics as the world of mobile devices expands. In order to fully test this week's work a touch screen (and preferably pointer) device is required. Also consider testing your work on your smart phone or tablet. If you do not have a touch screen device, the computers in the Student Computer Center all have touch screens so that might be a resource.

As you will quickly determine we are just barely scratching the surface of this topic. Hopefully, this chapter will provide enough information so that if when you choose to research this topic further, you will have an understanding of the overall process.

There are so many items that must be addressed: device, screen resolution, operating system and so the list continues. This is really needs and entire course (maybe two) devoted to programming for mobile devices.
