No liability assumed. As Android and iOS frameworks, programming languages (e.g. Swift) and development environments evolve very quickly, the lecture slides and assigments have to be constantly updated. Thus it is not always possible to provide lecture slides in advance to the planned lecture. Please bear with me, apologies for any inconvenience.
This lecture is limited to 32 participants, due to the available number of workstations (MacMinis) and room size. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Now we will go to Tobias Schneider (room 151) to get MacBooks for those who do not have any macOS system.
