Android Programming

OVERVIEW:
The course is for designing and building mobile applications using Android™ open-source platform. It
will be a combination of lecture and laboratory course which will help the student understand the
philosophy of developing for Android™ through its main application development building blocks and
their interaction with one another.

This course encourages students to learn by building increasingly more sophisticated and meaningful
mobile applications for Android™.

By the end of the course, each participant will build their own complete Android application
incorporating most of the key aspects of the platform. Typically, we build a Twitter app for Android, but
there are other choices depending on participants' interests.
