The entry point
It was at the end of 2021 I thought about entering into android development. The Google Student Club at my college introduced a program called Android Study Jam, I thought why not give it a try. I was surprised about the whole course content, that it consists of an amazing number of codelabs and activities.
The Beginner's capsule to step into Android
When it comes to native android development, you have two options:
- Kotlin
- Java
I chose Kotlin as it had a small advantage over Java in terms of beginner-friendliness.
Throughtout the course you will get the complete idea of how an android app is built, by doing it yourselves from scratch. The course consists of 6 pathways. In each of it, you will learn about the key concepts used in app development.
In each pathway you can find a number of badges. You need to earn badges inorder to complete the pathways. Badges are earned by completing the tutorials and codelabs, and there will be a quiz at the end of each activity which tests your understanding about that particular concept. You will get an opportunity to build cool projects throughout the pathways. Each badge have a final project, which you will do by yourself. That's cool right?.
You can checkout the courses page here.
It was an awesome journey for me. I completed the whole course in about a month, and I have gained some confidence about android development. I want to upgrade my knowledge stack by doing some cool projects by using the knowledge i gained throughout the course ;).
If you are a beginner or a professional who wants to step into android development, this is the right course to do. You won't regret it.
Cheers.
(Don't forget to share your experience if you have tried the course, as it will help many who are new to this.)
