CS 528 Fall 2020
Technical Talk on Mobile Technology (15/100 of course grade)
Project Requirements
Your GROUP is required to research, master and present on any TWO mobile
technologies. Your talk should cover the following:
- Background on the technology (tell a story about its history, etc)
- Specific problems it's designed to solve
- Typical example use case: When is it typically used?
- Real world examples of where it is being used. E.g. by XYZ company for ABC
- Overview of how it works?
- Code snippet: Walk through a simple program that uses the technology including
how to compile it and how to run it.
The grading rubric for the tech talk is posted [ Here ] .
Make sure to use the following [ Powerpoint
template ] for your talk.
A partial list of POSSIBLE topics are listed below. You can suggest other
topics. But to avoid multiple groups presenting the same topic, all groups
have to email me what TWO technologies they would like to present by
October 28, 2020. TWO IMPORTANT RULES.
- You cannot pick a topic that was presented last year (2019) or the previous year (2018).
You can find the list of Fall 2019 presentations [ HERE ]
