This course is great to get an understanding of Android development. All the learning is done with projects, and it takes a little effort to see results. it would be a 5 stars course if it were updated to the latest version of Android Studio and the SDK, I often find myself changing some code to clear warnings from the IDE, however, this is not a blocking change.
