Everyday, I further enrich this site and I intend to make it an open learning platform for life-long learners, mainly in computer science and technology, and in any other domain of expertise as well.
However, this site is no mach for other open online learning platforms. Particularly, I suggest that students refer to:

This course builds on top of the first Mobile Information Systems course, where the students are initiated to basic mobile development for the Android platform, namely hands-on the Android Studio, Android projects creation, running and debugging, basic GUI (with adaptation to various locals, screen sizes and resolutions), basic business logic and storing user settings using shared preferences.
The course covers more advanced topics such as creating a list view with a data adapter, data request from remote web services, the use of asynchronous tasks for multi-threading with GUI update, view recycler, more on fragments, shared preferences, SQLite, content providers, and loaders.
This course is an introduction to the world of mobile information systems and mobile application development with a focus on business applications such as mobile commerce, marketing, banking and on ubiquitous computing such as context awareness, ambient intelligence, and mobile learning. Hence, the outcome is two folds: learning how to develop quality mobile applications and learning how to propose the right design, technology, and platform for a specific business application domain.
The first part requires learning about the various and mostly used mobile platforms and devices; the specificities of mobile computing in terms of reduced performance and intermittent connectivity; the different development approaches (Native, Web-based and Hybrid) and about matching the right mobile solutions for specific application domains. On the other hand, the students will learn, from a business point of view, about the potential of mobile applications in leveraging new services, targeting new and wider customers’ markets and how this influences the design and development cycles of mobile apps.This course is an introduction to intensive, parallel, and distributed computing. It presents to the students the set of software and hardware techniques that allows the simultaneous execution of independent sequences of instructions on multi- or many- processors and cores. It also covers the development and the evaluation of parallel programs using various well-known parallel programming models and libraries such as PThreads, Java Concurrency, OpenMP, and MPI. A further extension to GPU acceleration using CUDA might also be covered.
This course covers one of the increasingly studied topics in computer science and engineering: the art of modern coding. I hope that you draw the maximum benefit out of this course, while fully enjoying it!

This course aims to give a global overview of the field of computing, by introducing different sub-domains of computing (architecture, operating systems, languages, networks). It aims to provide students with a computer culture by instilling them with precise knowledge of the means used in computers and their methods of use while introducing them to new areas of computer knowledge and providing them with the necessary elements to better understand other computer courses.
Ce cours donne une introduction aux outils bureautiques MS Office Word, Excel et Access.
Avec Word, les étudiants seront amenés à créer des documents complets, avec une bonne organisation, une page de couverture, une table de matières, une numérotation de pages, des libellés numérotés de figures et de tables, des entêtes et des pieds de pages, des références et des index tous automatisés et personnalisés.
Sous Excel, les étudiants seront capables de créer des tables de données, de les mettre en forme, d'y calculer des informations utiles et de les visualiser avec des graphiques (i.e. charts). Les formules apprises varient de celles basiques comme la somme et la moyenne, à celle intermédiaires comme les SUMIF, COUNTIF et AVERAGEIF, pour enfin utiliser les conditions simples et imbriquées avec les formules IF.
Enfin, les étudiants saurant créer des bases de données relationnelles sous Access afin d'y saisir des données, de les requêter, de leur créer des formulaires de saisie et d'en tirer des rapports imprimables.
