It's free, it's online - Just a few quirks to the online university that will start an online Android programming course next month free of charge! They propose interested applicants the first notions needed to create apps for smartphones and tablets running Google's mobile operating system. Don't have an Android device? It's not required. It's time to learn the Android way.
The eight-week long course offered by the University of Maryland is directed to Sophomore or Junior-level undergraduate students who already have some Java knowledge. However, this course is for beginners, as the students are "not expected to have studied mobile application development."
In order to attend it, students will need an Internet connection, a computer, and "time to read, write and discuss." An Android device is not required, as all the graded exercises will be done using the Android Emulator.
Each lesson is comprised of video presentations and lab exercises that will help students practice what they learn. At the end of the course, students will be given a more complex final project. The students who will complete the course will receive a Statement of Accomplishment signed by the instructor of the course.
In case you're looking forward to learning how to build your own Android apps, you should at least check this out - apparently a free resource to get you started.
