iOS App Development
Building upon my experience supervising the Android development practical course, I also co-supervised the “iOS Praktikum” at LMU Munich. This hands-on lab course focused on native mobile application development for the Apple iOS platform using the Swift programming language.
The course was structured in two main phases:
- Introductory Phase: Covered foundational theoretical concepts of iOS development and Swift programming, complemented by practical exercises to solidify understanding.
- Project Phase: Students formed small teams to conceptualize, design, develop, and test their own iOS application ideas. Throughout this phase, I provided regular individual guidance and technical support to the teams, assisting with architectural decisions, debugging, and project management.
A significant emphasis was placed not only on technical implementation but also on software engineering practices relevant to mobile development.
Course Focus & Structure
The Praktikum aimed to provide comprehensive experience in:
- Native iOS development using Swift.
- Understanding specific concepts of mobile device programming (e.g., lifecycle, sensors, connectivity).
- Planning and executing timed software projects as a team.
- Applying agile development principles and utilizing associated tools.
Students progressed from guided exercises to independent team-based project realization.
