With the backing of Google, Verizon, and other companies, the Android platform is poised to take the mobile market by storm. One of the big reasons is portability: now you can build apps that will work across several devices.

In this dynamic 5-week online workshop, you'll learn Android development while using your Java skills to build a working app from start to finish. As you add more features in each session, your app will become a little smarter—and so will you. You'll have direct access to the instructor via online Q&A; during the workshop. And here's the best part: the classes are free! There's no charge for these classes, and no hidden fees.
