1. Mobile Web Architecture
Duration: 24 Hours
Target Audience: System Analysts
Mobile is a whole new category of software development. Mobile devices run their own operating
systems, mobile networks work differently and mobile applications have different rules than
desktop or web.
In this course we’ll cover the architectural differences system analysts must be aware of when
designing a mobile or mobile web app.
