Once upon a time, my teacher asked me to write a program to check if the input is leap year. I went to my teacher and asked him "Sir, can you please explain why you wrote if(i%4==0)?". He told me to get lost saying "I ll never learn programming" Are you like me whose teacher writes code and never explains...
A very good course, a little outdated, but with some proper research you can go through the course easily.
You need also to have a basic on object-oriented programming especially Java as said in the description.
Nice and striketrough to the case, well done course..
Awesome explaination
It is good about painting and Photoshop.
Nice explanation
Great detailed explanations.
I don't understand some of things that seem irrelevant. Rather than spending to so much time on rastering, why not just say 'avoid rastering.. you're not likely going to need it.' I've been asked to rate the class after 1 or 2 lessons, so I'll leave an updated rating when I've finished.
I've revised my review. This course isn't easy to follow. I can't install the Android environment due to a problem with Gradle, and I can't find assistance online. This course fails to provide a means to 'launch an app in 16 hours'.
My recommendation is to skip this course and go with another.
Comprehensive course covering App development and Google Play deployment, lot of content here.
Learned bunch of new stuff, that the other courses simply does not teach you. Recommended!
