After having done 3 successful Guru Session about Android with Appsterdam and given some formal training via the Appvertising Agency, I think it is time to go one step forward.
There is a complete lack of Android training courses in Amsterdam. I want to change that. I want to provide expert Android training for IT professionals.
Ok, so, let’s answer some questions about this first Android Development Course in Amsterdam.
How long?
5 days (Monday to Friday), 8 hours a day (most likely 9:00 to 17:00 or 10:00 to 18:00).
Less time will not give proper in-depth training. I expect the attendees to be able to build full REST applications with a persistent database and adaptative interfaces for both phones and tablets at the end of the week
Do you have a program?
Some topics that will be covered are:
- Activities & Intents
- Layouts & Resources
- Lists & Adapters
- Asynchronous / Background tasks
- Network communication
- JSON / XML parsing
- Content Providers
- Fragments
- Action Bar
- Adapting apps to tablets
How many slots?
I want a group of 10-12 people. Less will be too expensive for them and more will not allow me to dedicate proper time to each of them.
Where?
I am talking with several locations, but BouceSpace has a lot of possibilities to be the one.
When?
Not sure yet, but I’d like to do it before the end of 2012, proposed dates are December 10th to 14th.
How much?
This is still undecided, but I believe it will be around 800 euros per person. Food will be -almost definitely- included
How do I RSVP?
Just follow the link to the event page on EventBrite, or just contact me if you are interested but not completely sure yet.
