A quick description about Android for CS Majors:

This course features 12 weeks of intense, project-focused Android training inspired by our professional developer boot camps and facilitated by CodePath-trained Teaching Assistants.

-During the first half of the course, you will build your skills through labs and projects using the APIs of popular apps like Tumblr, Yelp and Twitter.

-You then apply what you’ve learned in the second half of the course, working together in small teams to build a completely original app from the ground up.

-The culmination of the course is a Demo Day event at which you present your finished products to an audience of peers, faculty and industry professionals.

***There is no current set time or room yet as we are still deciding, but we urge students to apply as soon as they can. An announcement will be made later regarding the room and the course schedule.***
