UTAustinX: UT.6.01x: Embedded Systems - Shape The World. 21W.789x: Building Mobile Experiences. How do you design a mobile app that truly changes people's lives? How can you understand how a new service is being used, both quantitatively and qualitatively? How can you use all of the rich sensing and I/O capabilities of mobile devices to create experiences that go far beyond what's possible on a traditional computer? Mobile devices are changing the ways that we interact with each other and information in the world. This course will take you from a domain of interest, through generative research, design, usability, implementation and field evaluation of a novel mobile experience. You'll finish the course with a working, field-tested application suitable for release in the app store as well as a deep understanding of human interaction with mobile devices and services.

Based on a popular MIT class that has been taught since 2006 by Frank Bentley of Yahoo Labs and Ed Barrett, a Senior Lecturer at MIT, this course will explore what makes mobile devices unique. UTAustinX: UT.6.01x - Embedded Systems - Shape The World. UTAustinX: UT.5.01x - Linear Algebra - Foundations to Frontiers. Linear Algebra: Foundations to Frontiers (LAFF) is packed full of challenging, rewarding material that is essential for mathematicians, engineers, scientists, and anyone working with large datasets. Students appreciate our unique approach to teaching linear algebra because: It’s visual. It connects hand calculations, mathematical abstractions, and computer programming. It illustrates the development of mathematical theory. In this course, you will learn all the standard topics that are taught in typical undergraduate linear algebra courses all over the world, but using our unique method, you'll also get more!

We invite you to LAFF with us! Microsoft DreamSpark. EdX. Dashboard. BerkeleyX: CS169.1x - Software as a Service (Sep 2013) verified. Agile Ventures. Bookware: VM instructions - Engineering Software as a Service: An Agile Approach Using Cloud Computing (2nd Beta Edition) Options for getting and using the bookware Download a VM image compatible with the free VirtualBox software (for Intel-based Macs, Windows PCs, or Linux computers).

This option is completely free, thanks to support from edX for hosting the image file. (Google and Microsoft supported this previously…thank you for helping us launch!) Use Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud to deploy the VM image in the cloud:The Amazon Web Services Free Tier gives you 1 year of access to a Micro instance, which is sufficient to do the coursework, but may be sluggish.

You can pay per hour (from $0.03 and up) to get a dedicated Small instance, which would be faster. To use this option you must have your own Amazon Web Services account.If you are using this book in a course, your instructor may be able to get a donation of AWS educational credits from Amazon and allocate some of those to you. Which version of the VM should I use?
