I found the course to be very good. Not too long ago I was given a chance to complete the Google's official course on Coursera which I managed till just about more than a half only - due to my daily full time job requirements. Have to be honest and say that this course is as good as if not even better at explaining some particular subjects related to the Android App Dev!

I have been in the teaching profession now for 16 years teaching Mathematics, Java application development and Android application development.

I love to teach people new skills and will go the extra mile for people willing to work hard to pass my courses.

I studied Information Technology and obtained my BSc degree in Information Technology in 2001 and my BSc Honors degree in Information Technology in 2002. I started my teaching career in 2003 and in 2007 obtained my Post Graduate Certificate in Education. In January 2016 I obtained my Masters Degree in Education.

I am currently keeping myself busy creating Android applications and improving current systems at companies while also teaching Android application development and Java application development.
