Author Information
With a background in Psychology (University of Padova) and Computer Science (University of Pisa) Andrea Picchi started designing WebApps for the new Apple device in 2007 when the first iPhone was lunched on the market. After the first release of the Apple SDK in 2008 he started developing Native Apps using Objective-C. In 2011 he started to teach iOS WebApps in a course also available on iTunesU and Mobile Device Development in a first-level Master both organized by the Computer Science Department of the University of Pisa. Today, as Mobile Project Manager, his priority has been to implement a cognitive approach to touch-screen interface design in both mobile and ubiquitous computing contexts. He also continues his work designing and developing for iOS with both the Web model (using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) and SDK model (using Cocoa-Touch in Objective-C).
