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.

TanStack Start has introduced a import protection, which aims to prevent server and client code from being mixed in full-stack React applications. This Vite plugin automatically checks imports during development and build processes. It blocks harmful imports by file naming conventions or explicit markers, enhancing security and reducing bugs without requiring additional developer input.
