一、	課程說明 (Course Description)
<br>This course presents hands-on labs for students in the software aspect for 
<br>students to be familiar with software development process and techniques. The 
<br>class follows a mainstream aiming to build a full-function Android app with the 
<br>server running in the cloud using popular platforms (e.g., Google App Engine) 
<br>and open source libraries (e.g., Apache Maven, ExtJS, Apache Lucene, etc.). 
<br>
<br>The class is divided into three parts, namely, the fundamentals, app 
<br>development, and data-driven intelligence. In the fundamental part, a primer to 
<br>some important programming languages other than C/C++, such as Java, XML, Regex, 
<br>HTML/CSS, and Javascript, will be given. We will highlight the concept of OOP 
<br>and the advantages of different languages to help student make correct decisions 
<br>when writing a big code. Handy tools such as Eclipse, CVS/SVN, will also be 
<br>covered to get students familiar with project-based and team-based development. 
<br>In the app development part, we will explain how to implement an Android app. 
<br>Finally, to see how the knowledge learned from the first two parts can be 
<br>applied to solve real problems, in the data-driven intelligence part, we will go 
<br>through a case study on how to convert the raw data collected from app users 
<br>into human-sensible intelligence.
<br>
<br>Basic understanding of C/C++ programming language and data structure is 
<br>required.
