Android
Android is unlike any other mobile development platform or Java-based environment. Android Bootcamp will immerse students in the Android platform, leveraging their existing Java expertise, and allowing them to walk away from the class ready to build Android GUIs and related components.
On the first morning of class you will write your first Android Activities. Through the rest of the week you will be progressively introduced to more and more of what Android has to offer - services, multitouch, and system search services. You will apply this knowledge with working code every step of the way. Be ready to work hard and learn a lot in this intensive, hands-on, five day introduction to programming with the Android platform.
