The first 6 lectures of the online school Android developers

A little more than a month ago, we, together with Google, started an online school of Android developers, and today we want to take intermediate results.

This month:
- 18,000 people registered at the school
- we have covered the Russian-speaking Android community from Russia, the CIS, Europe, USA, Canada, Singapore and China
- 6 lectures were issued from JetBrains, Parallels, Kaspersky Lab, LinguaLeo and Tinkoff Bank (you can see them on the school website )



LearnDroid’s goal was to raise the level of interest in Android development and collect material from leading developers; the course was not intended to replace university education.
')
To make it easier for novice developers to learn Android, we asked lecturers to compile a list of references and articles that need to be read in order to become the guru of Android development.

1. The official resource for all Android developers is developer.android.com , so for any questions you should contact it.
2. Another popular resource with various articles, discussions of new products and codes android-developers.blogspot.ru
3. Android Weekly Android News Digest
4. " The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development " by Mark Murphy
5. Cheas Haas blog, Google UI Toolkit chapter
6. "Effective Java 2nd Edition" Joshua Bloch
7. “ Object-oriented design techniques. Design Patterns "E. Gamma, R. Helm, R. Johnson, D. Vlissides
8. Blog Jack Wharton, Android-developer Square

If you have any recommendations on literature, blogs and resources that are worth reading, throw them in the comments.

What's next?
Further students will have 8 more lectures devoted to ContentProvider + Loader, LayoutInflater, UI controls, AdapterView, Service, BroadcastReceiver, Notifications, GooglePlay services, Android Animation Framework, Android Support Library, Fragment Framework and Material Design.
And at the end of the school will be the final test, after passing which you can get a certificate from Google.
