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

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.

Using Claude Fable 5 or Mythos 5 on Amazon Bedrock requires opting into provider_data_share, sending prompts and outputs to Anthropic for 30-day retention with human review. Previous Bedrock models kept inference data inside the AWS boundary. Three days after launch, Anthropic asked AWS to revoke access to both models citing US export control compliance.

AWS recently introduced Amazon Cognito multi-region replication, which automatically replicates user identities and user pool configurations from a primary region to a secondary one. This enables applications to continue authenticating users from a replica region during outages, without requiring custom replication and failover mechanisms.

Block, Inc. describes migrating ~450 JVM repositories into a monorepo across Cash App and Square engineering to reduce dependency drift and coordination overhead. The system supports ~8,800 weekly builds with ~10 min p90 CI time. The approach improves cross-service changes, build visibility, and developer experience through dependency graph–based builds, selective CI, and custom IDE tooling.
