Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

This month Google has decided to start promoting Android into masses using the special Android Training program. The main purpose of this program is teaching users to understand Android and, which is more important, to teach Android application development. Every user is supposed to learn how to do everything – from applications for optimizing the performance of mobile device batteries to the development of effective navigation programs which haven’t been applied by anybody yet.

The training will start with basic knowledge in Android, then they will get the information on how to start developing on Android. The system will provide the most actual and relevant information. According to Tim Bray from Google, now the company is enlisting students who would like to receive this education and the training course will start in the nearest months.

The Ice Cream Sandwich mobile platform is a unified operating system for tablets and smartphones. It makes it much simple for mobile apps developers since they will have to understand only one set of codes.
