Creating your own Android app has never been easier — or cheaper. The Complete Android N Developer Course is a highly rated online course that allows you to learn app development from the comfort of your home. The course boasts a comprehensive, clutter-free guide that will help you — whether you’re a beginner or a pro — understand Nougat and quickly turn your app ideas into reality.

Who teaches the course?

Rob Percival is a web developer and teacher who has more than 15 courses available on Udemy, and more than 140,000 students. His courses range from coding to marketing, and are offered in numerous languages.

What the Course Includes

This course is available from Udemy, among others sites. It’s normally priced at about $200 but is currently available for 90-95% off thanks to a Black Friday special. The course takes 32.5 hours to complete, and offers 272 lectures at a variety of experience levels. With the course you’ll receive lifetime access, a certificate upon completion of the course, and your money back (within 30 days) if the course doesn’t work for you.

How the Course Works

Before you purchase the course, you can preview a selection of initial lectures to see if the course is right for you. The course includes a combination of videos and articles. There are 22 different course sections, or main lecture topics. The sections include: an introduction to the course, Android Studio, Java Deep Drive, media on Android, advanced Android features, maps and geolocation, permanent data storage, cloning of various apps, marketing techniques, and more.

In order to learn how to make your own apps, you’ll need to understand how other popular Android apps were created. You’ll first learn to use Java and Android Studio (with help from your PC) to create simple apps, such as a currency converter and a brainteaser app, and then eventually clone apps like WhatsApp, Uber, Flappy Bird, Twitter, and Instagram. In addition, as you work your way through the course, you’ll create your own app as you go. That way, you can quickly put your knowledge to work and immediately apply it to your app. Once your app is completed, the course will provide you with a guide on how to submit your app to the Play store. It’ll also help you to market your app, learn SEO best practices, and receive money through Google Adwords. As a bonus, the course even includes an introduction to Android Wear.

Create Your Own Apps With the Android Basics Nanodegree

Have you ever felt the urge to create, but weren’t sure where to start? Whether it’s a song, a book, a painting, or a technological innovation, chances are you’ve wanted to take an idea, and bring it to life at some point. Well, if you’ve dreamed of creating apps that make the world a better place, you’re in luck! In partnership with the online education service Udacity, Google has created a program called the Android Basics Nanodegree, and it can make this dream of yours a reality.

How the Nanodegree Program Works

The Android Basics Nanodegree program is comprised of various courses, and instructors who educate students in the art of building simple, user-friendly apps with Android Studio (the official tool for developing Android apps), and the popular programming language, Java.

If that sounds too complicated, don’t worry. The program is designed to cater to people who have little to no experience with complex technology, programming, or app development. You’ll be able to develop your skills from the ground up, and start making a difference in no time at all!

The program is primarily for people who want to use their skills to make a difference in society. For example, two users, named Charles Tommo and Arpy Vanyan, have already used their app-creating skills to raise awareness for malaria prevention, and the sometimes-blinding eye disorder, Retinopathy of Prematurity. If you receive the same education they did, there’s nothing stopping you from creating equally beneficial apps!

Your education doesn’t have to stop with the basics, either. Once you graduate from the Nanodegree program, you’ll also have the option to take the Career-Track Android Nanodegree program for intermediate developers, and from there, you can take the advanced program of the same name. With the knowledge you gain from all three courses, you’ll be well on your way to jump-starting a successful career as an app developer, if you so choose!

Ready to Learn?

Considering the potential return on your investment, the cost of $199 per month is a small price to pay for expert classes, intuitive programs, and a potentially prosperous future! If you want to sign up, feel free to visit the program’s web page, and begin the process of creating something beautiful. Looking for some inspiration?
