Description

Android App Development in Java AND Kotlin. From a complete bner, learn to make real apps, build your portfolio in a modern course with latest best practice! Android 13 ready!About this courseThe Android Development Bootcamp is a brand new, up-to-date course providing the perfect introduction to the real-world Android concepts and skills required to be a successful Android developer in 2023. Whether you are a complete bner or are coming from another language or platform, this course will go from setting up and installing Android Studio to building real apps that are useful and look great. You'll gain a deep understanding of the core important aspects of Android app development, and you will be taught by a fully qualified teacher who made a switch from a completely different career into being a Senior Android Eeer at a major UK company making apps for millions of users.*B by gaining a foundation in XML and Java - move onto Kotlin, Fragments, RecyclerViews and much more*This course won't patronise you, or have you copying along typing things you don't understand. No important concept will be glossed over or taken for granted; no, you will have that deep understanding that leads to mastery. *A unique Android course that offers a fully integrated curriculum*Many Android courses teach a few of the concepts in isolation. For example you may see a section on Java separate from the other "Android" sections. But this isn't how Android works! Android/Java/XML are all so heavily intertwined, with our skills developing in all areas as we gain mastery, so why experience them in isolation? In this course, you will learn what you need to know, the moment you need to know it! Whether it's working with layout files, programming in Java, you can be sure the key concepts - from Variables, Classes and Methods through to Inheritance, Interfaces and much more - will be introduced at the moment they are relevant, fitting in seamlessly with the rest of the course. About meI am currently employed as a Lead Android Eeer for a major UK company, born and currently living in the north of England, however programming was not where I started my career.With a successful career behind me as a fully qualified music teacher and professional musician, I made the switch from teaching to software development, teaching myself. I am the proof that you don't need a computer science degree, or years of commercial experience to be a highly successful Android developer. What's more, as I have years of training in teaching, I am highly skilled at breaking down complex topics in ways that are easy to understand and engaging, and I am expert at developing a curriculum where the concepts are introduced in an enjoyable, flowing way, always building upon our existing skills while acquiring new ones. So, as somebody who decided one day to break into Android app development just like you are at this point, and as a fully qualified teacher, I am uniquely positioned to guide you on your path to also becoming an Android developer, in a way that is fun, carefully designed, engaging, never patronising, and that will get you as excited as I was - and still am - about learning this wonderful skill!About you (or, course requirements!)This is the course for you if:You want to make Android appsYou are interested in becoming an employed Android developer, a freelancer, launching your own projects, or just want to try your hand at making real mobile appsYou have no prior programming experience, or some but from a different language/platformYou want a course that teaches you the real tools Android developers and professionals use in the real world, in an integrated curriculum that will give you a deep understanding of all the key concepts an Android developer needs to know to have a successful careerWith regards to what you need to be able to take this course, note the following two points:Absolutely zero programming experience is required (although if you have some that's also fine!) - you will be taught everything you need to know from scratchYou need a computer, either PC (Windows) or a Mac, with an internet connection
