This course focuses on software applications development for the android platform using the Java programming language. This course includes 90 academic hours organized in two parts, that take place in class, and 640 academic hours (and beyond) that take place at home. The course was developed for people with background in software development, and with basic kills in OOP. The course doesn’t assume any previous knowledge in OOP. The training material is organized in online courses available through the elearning platform we use during the course.

Java Programming (1st Part)
This part covers all topics we must be familiar with when writing code in Java for the Android platform. We focus on OOP and especially the use of Inner Classes. During this part we also start with a short warm-up for the Android platform and start writing our first simple applications. (20 academic hours)

Fundamental Topics (2nd Part)

This part focuses on the main components each android application is composed of, including activities, services, broadcast receivers and content providers. The pace in beginning of this part is a bit slower comparing with the next parts of the course in order to allow the students getting the required solid understanding in the Java programming language. (70 academic hours)
