=April 13, 2011= The final list of groups -- with devices assigned to each group -- is now available under Students.

=April 4, 2011= During the laboratory session of April 5, the instructor will overview the IDEs for Android, iOS and Maemo. The instructor will also answer questions about the course projects.

=March 31, 2011= The default course project is now available under Course Materials. Remember that **the deadline for submitting projects is April 10**. By April 10, each student group should send to the instructor an email stating Groups choosing the default project should simply say so in the email; groups proposing a non-default project should provide a project description with a level of detail comparable to that of the default project. In choosing and developing your project, be aware that **quality will be rewarded more than quantity**. For instance, an application that provides only basic functionalities but is "rock solid" will get higher grades than an application that offers a lot of advanced functions but does not respect the UI guidelines for the chosen platform, does not properly handle error conditions, and so forth. The quality of the source code will be also considered in the grading process. After April 10, students who are not grouped and/or do not have a project will be forcibly grouped by the instructor and assigned the default project on the Android platform.
