Description / Abstract

Submitted to the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

An application to provide audience-specific media and tools on mobile devices for the NNU community was created. The application is built using the Ionic framework, a cross-compiler that utilizes a variety of helpful tools and plugins in one package. The app includes an adjustable newsfeed scroll, a calendar of events, and different modules. During the lifetime of the app, modules are implemented and then removed, in order to fit specific temporal functionality. Adding and removing specific functionality helps keep the app relevant and useful while maintaining a simplicity imperative to mobile design. The app conforms to NNU marketing department's visual and color standards. The app implements an internal model-view-controller relationship, written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with respective libraries. The source code is then compiled into IOS and Android implementations, with the help of Apache Cordova. Native Ionic tools and resources were repurposed to create new functionality and a specific visual design. The application is now available on the Apple and Google App Stores.
