Practical Course: iPraktikum WS2021/22

Attention: We hope to be able to offer the iPraktikum again as on-campus course. Due to ongoing development with respect to the Corona Virus, the exact dates of the course are subject to change. We will inform all participants if any dates change.

Course description

In this course you develop a mobile application in the context of a larger system architecture. Depending on the project, you work with application servers, machine learning algorithms, smart sensors, intelligent clothing, wearables like the Apple Watch or micro-controllers.

You get to know the workflows, activities and tools of state-of-the-art agile software engineering, in particular agile hardware/software co-development, from requirements engineering to system delivery. In particular, you learn Apple’s programming language Swift, UI frameworks like UIKit and SwiftUI, and Server-Side Swift. In addition, you will gain hands-on knowledge in the fields of system modeling, usability engineering and continuous integration and delivery.

For this course, industry partners provide real problem statements. You get real team and project experience while working tightly together with a real client towards a real deadline.

Prerequisites

• Participating students are familiar with the concepts of object-oriented programming in e.g. Objective-C, Java, C++ or C#.
• Prior knowledge in Swift or macOS is helpful but not required. 
• You do not necessarily need any own Apple Devices to take this course. We have a lab equipped with iMacs which you can use 24/7 with a key card, but in this case you should be prepared to have time to work on campus.
