Year 9 App Development

Subject Description

Desktop computers and laptops are not the only devices that can be programmed to perform functions. Mobile devices rely on the development of apps. This exciting unit looks at the development of apps for different devices, including mobile technologies. Students will be presented with a variety of problems and will develop solutions using different digital solutions. There will be a study of problem definition considering audience and purpose, the programming structures of sequence, iteration, selection and modulisation. An analysis will be conducted of User Experience (UX). Students will learn how programming can provide structured approaches to problem solving.
