● Mobile App Development: Introduction to frameworks like React Native or Flutter.
● Data Structures and Algorithms: In-depth study of advanced data structures and
algorithms.
Hands-on Practice:
Throughout the course, students should engage in numerous programming exercises,
assignments, and projects to reinforce their understanding and develop practical skills.
