Android Training

Our Android App Training course in Brighton, UK is hands-on, practical and probably the most useful skill you will learn for a long time to come. With Android being the leading smart phone operating system around the world there is no wonder that over 8 billion apps were downloaded last year, with more than 6 times that figure predicted for this year.

However, with high development and maintenance costs for custom Apps through professional developers things can get very expensive quickly.  This makes getting involved in Android App Development an even more important string to add to your bow.

Making use of the most open mobile and tablet development platform on the market allows you to make full use of all of the phone’s functionality, so combined with our Android Training you get the chance to make the App of your dreams!

In this practical introduction to Android training course, you will create your own Android application, ready for entry into the Android Marketplace. We will work with a simulator, and also a variety of devices as we learn the real world skills you will need as an Android application developer.

Want to develop apps for Apple Products?  We also offer an iOS App Development training course as well!

We also provide private and in-company Android App Development courses. Call +44 (0) 1273 622272 to discuss.
