Best Jumia Tech Week Deals

Are you inspired by tech or curious as to how some things are built or work? You see building stuff and solving problems as fun? Do you have that particular application on your Android smartphone you wish you could build? Or does your best friend or colleague build super cool apps and you just wish you could be like him/her? And worse, he or she or anybody else do not have the time to teach you.

If you answered ‘Yes’ to more than one of the above questions (particularly the 3rd question), then I’d say you should worry no more. I will show you some cool platforms where you can learn Android development at your own preferred time and pace.

Learn Android development

Udacity

In partnership with Google, there is an Android Development for Beginners on Udacity that is a perfect kickoff point for individuals that would love to build super cool Android app with no background knowledge whatsoever in coding or programming. According to information on the course page, the course was designed for students looking to break into the programming scene and build Android applications while at it.

Learning Android development on Udacity is comes at no cost whatsoever, but requires dedication, a computer that can run Android Studio (a software used to build Android Apps), and most importantly, the willingness to learn new things. I should also mention that it will only take about 4 weeks to complete; depends on the number of hours you dedicate to each lesson and topics.

There is also a Nano-degree program on Android Development you can enroll for, but unlike the course for beginners, the Nanodegree program is a paid (not free) program and you have to have some programming knowledge to learn efficiently. Also, the Nanodegree takes more time (about 7 months) to complete and get certified.
COOL FACT: The average annual salary for an Android Developer is $78,046 (according to PayScale)

Coursera

Coursera’s “Android App Development Specialization” program is a beginner specific 5-course on Android development. Asides learning through from course materials and videos, you will also be handed Android projects to work on as you progress and complete each course. Each course in the program takes approximately 4 weeks to complete; given you are able to dedicate 5-6 hours per week to the learning.

This whole program will cost you some $$, but depending on your budget and level of pre-existing Android development knowledge, you can choose to skip some courses. However, it is advised that, as a beginner, you take the courses in the order they come in.

Udemy

Udemy is another platform to learn absolutely anything worth learning. With a wide database of courses on Android development, Udemy is a perfect ground for aspiring Android developers, beginners, intermediates, and even advanced learners to pick up a new skill.
