Android Class at Valencia College
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

Article: Working with Code Assistants: The Skeleton Architecture
Prevent AI-generated tech debt with Skeleton Architecture. This approach separates human-governed infrastructure (Skeleton) from AI-generated logic (Tissue) using Vertical Slices and Dependency Inversion.
