Learn to Think Like an Android Developer





By Reto Meier, Head of Scalable Developer Advocacy




Today I�m proud to announce the latest resource for learning to develop Android apps: Developing Android Apps: Android Fundamentals.




Android Fundamentals is an online training course featuring Google Developer Advocates Reto Meier, Dan Galpin, and Katherine Kuan, working with the team at Udacity that�s advanced and technical enough for experienced developers who are new to Android?—?maybe even new to mobile?— but not new to programming.



The course offers step-by-step training in which you�ll build an Android app, and learn best practices of mobile development in general and Android development in particular.



The full course materials — all the videos, quizzes, and forums — are available for free for all students by selecting �View Courseware�. Personalized ongoing feedback and guidance from Coaches is also available to anyone who chooses to enroll in Udacity�s guided program.



This guided course, along with UX Design for Mobile Developers and Mobile Web Development, complement our existing material—including documentation, samples, and videos — to offer a solid grounding in developing great experiences for people using mobile devices. Check out the trailer below for an overview of what's in the course.



Mobile devices are the platform that will bring the next five billion people online. With Android expanding rapidly into emerging markets, and growing beyond phones and tablets into wearables, auto, and TV, learning the fundamentals behind Android development represents an opportunity to affect and improve the lives of billions of people.



We look forward to seeing what the next wave of Android developers build, and we�ll keep exploring new ways to help you become better developers.
