The module is normally given in three parts, each part consisting of one-two days of lectures. Mobile devices have some limitations compared to normal personal computers, most notably the lack of mouse/keyboard, small screen, and limited processing power.  The module shows how to develop applications for such devices taking into consideration their limitations.  One example is to use connect such devices to servers, where the server may do some of the work.

Part 1 focuses on graphical user interface design on both platforms.
Part 2 discusses network programming using sockets and HTTP.
Part 3 shows how to use mobile clients with server side applications (including use of web services)
