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 curriculumMany 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 Engineer 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, Imade the switch from teaching to software development, teaching myself. Iam 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 Iam 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!
