Best Beginner Android Development Training

This is the best beginner Android development training you will find online. I know that is a bold claim so I stand to be corrected. The truth is,  Android development and programming, in general, is hard. What's even harder is learning to code in the first place. There is a seemingly endless amount of fundamental programming knowledge and concept to grasp before you even begin. As important as these fundamental knowledge are, it turns out no one gets paid for learning the fundamentals, you get paid for creating apps, for solving problems with this knowledge.

The challenge then in learning programming is how do you transition from learning the fundamentals to being a productive developer that is valuable in the marketplace. This is where many beginner programming books and courses fail. They either spend too much time teaching the fundamentals and bore the reader to death or they jump quickly into advanced concepts and make programming appear harder than it seems.

My approach is that beginner Android developers should hit the ground walking! If you hit the ground standing (just learning the fundamentals) you will be overwhelmed with too much head knowledge and could be discouraged. If you hit the ground running (jump into writing code) you could become a delusional programmer always struggling with the how never understanding the why.

Pronto Android is designed to help you make the transition from novice to proficient Android developer in 100 days. You will learn the basics of Object-Oriented Programming, along with a gradual introduction to Kotlin. With examples, you will be introduced to fundamental Android development concepts beginning from Activity, Fragment, Intents, and how your app interacts with other apps and services. 

From the beginning, you will start following modern Android development best practices using Android Architecture components such as LiveData, ViewModels, DataStore, Room Database to name a few. This training includes extensive hands-on experience using numerous Firebase components such as Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Storage, and others.

Learn By Doing

If you are struggling with learning Android development it could be because you are learning complex topics in isolation. The approach that has worked best for me is to learn Android development in the context of creating full-featured apps. This training is created with the right mix of background information and hands-on practice to help you become proficient with Android development and create your own Android apps portfolio.

This training is presented in both a book and course format so you can choose which learning style fits your needs. This training is broken into 100 days segments which are grouped into weeks. Each week focuses on a group of related Android development technology that is applied towards building a complete app.
