Info Tech & Mobile Application
The concepts learnt from the Info Tech & Mobile Application course have equipped
me with a good background knowledge on the issues and possibilities in mobile application
development bearing in mind that I am still a learner. I have learnt the theoretical concepts
that connect and explain the Mobile application design, Security and user experiences via this
course. For example, principles like secure-code, and, privacy can form the basic guidelines
on how mobile applications should not only be functional but also secure, with respect to the
user’s confidentiality as well as their personal data. Balapour et al. (2020) concluded that the
perceived privacy influences the security perceptions to mobile applications among the users.
As such, the role of incorporating sound security measures in the app development process
cannot be overrated, and the job of securing users’ data and enhancing credibility.
Thus, practically, it could be realized that learning in this course enabled the students
to effectively apply their skills in a number of contexts in a professional environment. For
instance when there is a workout for Internship or as part of a particular project, one may
apply the knowledge of secure coding practices and improve the applications’ security to
resist the identified vulnerabilities. This would entail the use of security measures such as
encryption, secure forms of authentication and durationly security check to ensure that the
flow of unauthorized persons and unauthorized access was avoided. These practices resonate
with Balapour et al. ’s (2020) study on the relationship between perceived privacy and user
trust. Thus, it is possible to say that the outcome of such an approach is the ability to
contribute to the construction of safe and reliable mobile applications for the commercial
sector.
Moreover, practical knowledge obtained within this course is also essential to
comprehend the definition of User Experience (UX) in design of mob apps. Specially, the

course highlights usability and creates main focus on the creation of clear and easily
understandable interfaces to improve the usage of an app. In a practical sense this could entail
activities in relation to user persona creation, usability testing or successive improvements.
Stable UX design enhances the satisfaction level of the user in addition to adding value to the
use of the product, therefore they stick to the product. In Balapour et al. (2020), the authors
stress out that the perceived privacy affects users’ experience concerning the mobile
applications, which supports the importance of addressing both security weaknesses and
usability issues to satisfy users.
Finally, the information introduced to learners in this course may be very useful for
further careers in the sphere of mobile application development. No matter creating new
applications or improving the existing ones, it is crucial to get detailed information
concerning the theoretical and practical aspects of the mobile app technology. For example,
one would be able to implement the principles that have been learnt in creating functional as
well as secure as well as user-oriented applications. As one pays attention to the evolving
mobile technology as well as appreciating the theories and practices attached to it from the
course, one can be of great help in development of solutions in solving real life problems and
ensure they fit the required standard in the industry..
