Course Outline

This course is specifically designed for proficient programmers with a background in either the Java or other OOP programming languages, aiming to equip them with the essential technical knowledge requisite for their respective roles. Initially, participants will undergo an in-depth exploration of the Kotlin programming language, spanning both its functional and object-oriented aspects.
Following this independent language immersion, we will delve into the Android development environment, acquainting participants with fundamental user interface concepts. Subsequently, attendees will comprehensively grasp the fundamental building blocks of Android application development. This phase will be marked by continuous and extensive practice of the Kotlin language, underscored by a focused study of the language's unique support libraries. Throughout this process, learners will be engaged in the creation and development of complete projects, with each lesson building upon the previous.
In the subsequent segments of the course, we will delve into the Android Jetpack library, delving deep into the various components comprising its architecture, with a particular emphasis on the MVVM pattern. Attendees will acquire the skills to work with and seamlessly integrate View Model and LiveData and/or Flow in all applications, master the art of data preservation within local databases using Room, and become proficient in crafting Repositories that effectively manage information. All of this will be done with parallel programming through Coroutines. This course also centers on a unique aspect of the Android system - background operation, devoid of a user interface, and communication with system events via signal reception. Participants will gain a profound understanding of the advantages and limitations of two pivotal components: Service and Broadcast Receivers. Additionally, the course will cover the scheduling of future tasks leveraging the Android operating system's capabilities, employing tools such as AlarmManager, JobScheduler, and WorkManager.

The insistence that every student understands every detail in the lessons is admirable, and the feedback from the students in the course proved it." (Ofer Rom, Android Team Leader)
"Eran tailored his syllabus to our needs, and then added more material that he felt was necessary for us. Eran prepared written material, presented it, and wrote code in real time to demonstrate. He has a strong command of Android. Any questions that came up, if he didn’t have an answer on the spot, Eran made sure to have the answer by the next session." (Yaakov Pechman, Software Development Manager)
