Codetown ::: a software developer's community
We are having an Android App Development class at Valencia starting in August (East campus). It is COP 2660, and has a pre-requisite of COP2800 Java Programming, or permission of instructor. There are some seats left, so I thought I would put it up here for the community - albeit a very quiet community :)
If you are interested in iOS programming, we are also having one of those on West campus with a few seats left. You need to ahve any OO programming language to get into that one.
Let me know if you have any questions about these.
Cheers,
Colin Archibald

Hello Colin: Thanks for the putting this up. Do you have a link to the course or will you provide the name of the course and area it is under on the VCC site.
Well, here's what I have:
COP 2660 Android App Development
CRN 17453
Thursday Nights 7:00-9:45PM East Campus (one meeting per week)
Aug 30 - Dec 13, 2012
Here is the catalog course description:
Hands-on application development for Android devices. Android apps will be written in Java, and execute in an emulator. Topics include the application architecture, user interface, data persistence, graphics, multimedia, and location-based services. Advanced apps will communicate with device sensors including the accelerometer, microphone and camera. The business of app development is explored, including distributing and marketing in the Android Market. Owning an Android device is not required.
Did you guys do anything on NDK? Any chance of sharing your course material I would be interested in reading it.
BTW it is awesome that they are doing this a Valencia!

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

A newly discovered class of attacks targets Android devices, allowing malicious apps to steal on-screen information from other apps using a technique known as pixel stealing. Dubbed Pixnapping, the attack leverages previously known side-channel vulnerabilities and affects virtually all apps, including Signal, Google Authenticator, Venmo, and many others.
