TOP REVIEWS FROM PROGRAMMING MOBILE APPLICATIONS FOR ANDROID HANDHELD SYSTEMS: PART 1
A great course to take because the useful and simple explanations made by prof. Porter. The course gives us the first steps to be android developers in a fun an simple way. Excellent Course.
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
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.
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
