Learn about Mobile Cloud Computing with Android

Vanderbilt University and the University of Maryland have teamed up to offer the first transinstitutional sequence of massive open online courses on the Coursera platform. Their coordinated MOOCs focus on Mobile Cloud Computing with Android.
The first MOOC in the sequence-the Univer­sity of Maryland's course "Pro­gramming Mobile Applications for Android Handheld Systems"-will focus on design and implementation of user-facing applications. The first Vander­bilt course-"Programming Mobile Services for Android Handheld Systems"-will focus on middleware systems pro­gramming topics, such as synchronous and asynchronous concur­rency models, background service pro­cessing, structured data management, and local inter-process communication and networking. The next Vanderbilt MOOC in the se­quence-"Programming Cloud Services for Android Handheld Systems"-will focus on inte­grating mobile devices with compu­ting clouds. The final course in the sequence will be a joint cap­stone project of­fered to stu­dents who successfully master the material in the earlier MOOCs. Visit www.coursera.or... to learn more.
