by CINov 27, 2016
This course was great for me. I was looking for a refresher course since I had some Android experience, but due to different career path I have not used in about 4 years. It was good for me.

Very good courser, not for beginners certainly. Funny videos and easy to understand and gives you asignments that let you think about it and research so you understand better the assignments

There's a little gap between theory and practice, so you have to make a bit of research on the side, but an excelent course anyway. Learned a lot. Looking forward to start Part 2
