Supporting online-course will provide you with a set of customizable building blocks that you can assemble to create many different types of apps, and that will help you become familiar with many important specificities of Android development. You can also try to implement FIGMa project if you are not able to prepare an Android application. When you complete the project, in addition to having a personalized app that you can use and share, you’ll have the skills and background you need to move on to more advanced coursework in Android development. Course is arranged in blended format.
