Free online course: Developing Android Applications with Java
Feb 13th
Last week I got a tip from a co-worker about a free online course in developing Android applications. I have been looking into Android development ever since I got my Motorola Droid a few months ago. I wasn’t able to attend the session LIVE; but they do offer you to option to purchase the session videos for download for $49 (A special price for this series ). I bit the bullet, and coughed up the $50 because I thought it would help me in my journey and I actually got around to watching the first part of the series yesterday.
In other interesting news, recently I found out that my employer is also looking to developing an Android application for our customers, so I may be able to get in on some of that action over the next few months if I really can wrap my head around this new platform. Anyways, I just though I would share that with you incase you were looking for an adventure in mobile application development. Until next time…
Happy coding!
Free Education!
Aug 25th
You know, every day I become more and more impressed about the amount of information that is freely available on the internet. Recently, I came across two online learning sites that may help you brush up on some of those old college or high school courses and it was amazing how a little refresher will get your brain going again. The Khan Academy and MIT’s Open Courseware.
As you know, MIT is one of the best technology institution in the nation and anything they can offer for free is invaluable. The Khan Academy on the other hand is not affiliated with any college or university; but the individual that provides the free resources is a MIT graduate and a Harvard Business School MBA graduate. I have enjoyed many of his math courses and he does a far better job explaining things than the majority of my undergraduate professors.
I do intend to go back to school someday; however I have not decided on any program as yet and no doubt I would have to brush up on a few things. So these resources will come in very handy for me. I hope you find some use for these as well. There is that saying that “knowledge is power”. Until next time…
Happy Learning!
