Course Description
Want to create an Android application, but you don't want to learn Java first? Perhaps you already know some Java, but you've never build a complete Android application before. Either way, this course has you covered! In this course, you will learn the basics of Java and Android while you create a real working Android application. This course is the third course in a 4 part series on beginning Android development, but you don't need to watch the other courses to understand this one. As long as you have some basic programming knowledge, you should be able to follow along with this course and build your first Android application using Java and Eclipse. In this course we'll alternate between learning and doing as we set out to build a note taking application for Android. We'll start off covering everything you need to know about getting setup to develop an Android application in Java using Eclipse. Then we'll create our Note Taker application step by step, clearly explaining each step as we go and introducing Java concepts along the way. If you are looking for a new and fun way to learn Java while building an Android application, or you are just looking to maximize your time, by learning two topics at the same time, this course might be just what you are looking for.
