The subject of this course is the development of services that are delivered over the Internet: system feature specification, design, user interface, implementation, and the role of development environments. Increasingly the delivery of services and user access to them is driven by considerations of third-party development, user platform specifications, security, privacy, and performance. Much of the focus of contemporary development is on mobile apps, reflecting the changing modes of behavior and expectations of users for instant availability of highly special-purpose and location-aware applications. This course will consider these trends and their implications for design and development.
