Course Description

Overview

*** Create Your First Android app! ***

Ever wanted to make apps but thought they were hard?

Good news, they're not! I will show you just how easy it can be!

No programming experience needed whatsoever!

Well, that's why I created this Android development course! No other course takes you from beginner (with no experience) to a full Android app. I will show you how to:

  • Install Android Studio (and required extras)
  • Setup the graphical look of your app
  • Connect layout elements like buttons and Text Fields to your java code 
  • Code in Java within an Android activity
  • Store items in Android Shared Preferences, making them accessible across app restarts

This course is for you if you:

  • Are a beginner or novice to Android App development
  • Want to understand Android apps in a short period of time
  • Love proceeding at an awesomely brisk pace!

This course is not for you if:

You are an expert or intermediate developer

What software do you need?

Android Studio (free) which runs on PC / Mac / Linux

Do you need experience?

No. I assume you are a complete beginner to apps and development in general
