And of course, the course is designed to teach you to create real Android applications in order to lead developers to the very point where they will start thinking in terms of Android programming, quickly implement the algorithms invented. In general, this is an excellent training for the brain, which will allow not only to follow examples from textbooks, but to implement the most courageous thoughts and ideas.
Of course, one of the features of the course is to provide personal feedback, direct guidance from gurus and coaches for each course participant, who have a paid subscription to Udacity.
