In recent years, there has been exponential growth in both the development and the use of mobile applications. During the development performance, security and energy saving must to be taken into account. The goal of this tutorial is to introduce of mobile applications development using an IBM mobile development platform. As part of this tutorial, we review the challenges in mobile development, present advanced techniques for development of mobile applications according to the best practices, and present refactoring and analysis for automatic identification and fixing of anti patterns in mobile applications.
