There are no prerequisites for this course; no previous programming experience is required.

This course is an introduction to mobile application development for iOS and Android. Students will learn how to develop simple mobile applications for IOS and Android with Flutter, an open source cross-platform framework by Google.

The main objective of the course is to provide students with the skills needed to design and develop mobile applications.
During the classes they will learn to:
- think like a programmer;
- use the Dart language to write simple programs;
- write mobile applications through the Flutter framework;
- use an IDE (integrated development environment) for their development activities;
- read and take advantage of technical documentation.

- Classroom lectures and pratical exercises;
The course involves a hands-on approach to the topics covered, so class attendance is recommended.

Students will be required to present and discuss a mobile application they have designed based on an idea agreed upon with the lecturer.

They will be evaluated based on their knowledge of the Dart programming language and their ability to design and implement a mobile application using Flutter
