Description

Being seasoned Android systems engineers, we wanted to setup a evolving course for all the would be Android Engineers.

To begin with the few videos that we have uploaded will serve as testing the waters for demand for this content. Based on the feedback we would be evolving the course to cover a lot more topics which would start diving deep into Android internals and design.

The price for the course is only for covering the costs of making the video and time we have dedicated to this project.

If you have any suggested topics then please send us a message in udemy or update in the comments section of the course.

Thanks
