I ended school last week with my thesis submission and presentation. Yes I am done with school! I am done with the three year Bachelor course in interactive art at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore.
Now that I’ve graduated and have not found a proper full time job, I decided to do some freelance work. One of them would be something I have not done before – I have decided to embark on my first mobile phone app development project on the Android platform. I am helping a friend to create a weight loss app for a token fee. I am treating it as a learning experience and hopefully I will be able to complete it with some help from my ex-classmates.
I came across a good online tutorial for introducing this topic. I found it from the open culture website that curates the best free learning resources online. It is actually a real course taught at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Indiana, USA, a highly rated technology institution. I have found the materials well-organised and I like the videos and the way the professor (David Fisher) talks and presents his stuff. All course materials can be found here.
I’m taking the plunge into this course! In addition to this awesome online course, there is of course the official Android developer guide and an excellent blog called ‘Think Android‘.
