ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Mobile Application Programming is a two-year career program leading to the attainment of an Attestation of College Studies (AEC). Successful completion of the program allows the student to acquire the skills necessary to practice the profession of a Mobile application programmer. The mobile application programmer carries out the technical realization and computer development of mobile applications. Based on technical specifications and a set of requirements transmitted by the project manager, they program the functionalities that correspond to the needs of a client for mobile applications.

WHAT WILL THIS PROGRAM GIVE ME?

The mobile application programmer creates specific computer programs for the mobile and nomadic environment. The projects carried out may take the form of specific websites, online services, multimedia applications such as video games, etc. In this context, the programmer is responsible for ensuring the interactivity of the products and services they create through mathematical formulas formalized by a specific language.

As a member of a team that brings together a variety of skills, the mobile application programmer defines the links between the content that they must integrate in order to ensure its display; they also define the entire algorithmic part that allows the processing of data by the mobile application. In a context of exponential increase in the use of nomadic tools (smartphones, digital tablets, watches, glasses, etc.), they must adapt their work to the specificities of programming and display on these types of devices (constraints of a small screen, variety of screens, limited interaction capacity, diversity of platforms, etc.).

What is the industry like?

A mobile application programmer is likely to work in various contexts. They may create a mobile application from scratch, adapt a website to one of these platforms, or optimize an existing application. They can be called upon to exercise their profession in an Android or IOS environment and in the Back End or Front End part of a project.

To practice their profession, a mobile application programmer must have basic knowledge of computer science and programming and must know the specifications specific to mobile applications as well as the standards in use (W3C, HTML5, DOM, CSS, etc.). They must be able to master a programming language, integrate databases, and manage dynamic applications while using various types of software (editing interfaces, search engines, image processing, referencing, statistical measurement, etc.). The mobile application programmer must have an interest in the web and mobile environment and must be able to integrate well into a work team by being open to others. They must constantly keep in mind the concern for usability in terms of ease of access and navigation.
