Nice
I don't know if it comes with a job promise

What i know is if ur certified by google ur a hot cake then

Are u into android apps ?

Hot cake ke? After training will you be given a project or everything end when training ends and certificates will be issued?


Yes, I am into native Android development

Loris576:
Ok sir..can you send the screenshots you wanted to send


Google scholarship just certify and train people..the scholarship covers a certificate. You dont need to pay for it

Are you also a programmer ?

I actually attached the screenshot but I don't know why it is not showing up. I do it again.

Oh yeah, I am a software developer (mobile).

Does the scholarship come with job promise?

Hello everyone
I just got selected for google scholarship on android development some days back.
I need pdf textbooks to start learning
I have not ventured into any programming language apart from qbasic and visual basic.
If you can help me with a good and simplified pdf that will teach me the basics. I will appreciate.
Thank you

Hmmm! Your case is very strong o. You applied for a scholarship when you don't know Java or kotlin? There is no textbook I will recommend that will help you when you do not have basic knowledge of Java or kotlin. You will find it difficult to understand android development if you don't understand how OOP, multithreading, collections, and interface work.

Anyway, I will list some books that will help you in Java and Android at the same time but those books are old still relevant though. Check out the screenshot below.

Get the following books: Head First Java, Java : the complete reference, Effective Java.

For Android development : Head First Android Development, Android programming Big Nerd Ranch 4th(in kotlin) while 3rd (in Java). These books will broaden your horizon on Java and Android development, however to be pro you start building apps.

Can you tell me how Google scholarship for Africa work?

Who told you he was poisoned?

One of the laws of 48 laws of power is "Do not outshine your master". This law is very succinct.

Thanks for a detailed answer . I'm going to get this book called 'head first java'. I'll get either the hard or soft copy. .

You must get that book please. That book helped me and still helping me. After that, get Effective Java, Head first design patterns, and then you can get clean code if you want to. So, for the Android, Head first Android development and Big Nerd Ranch books are really great. For advance android development get Professional Android 4th edition.
I prefer reading books to videos there are some videos that are good though.

You will surely come to a point of going back, and giving up , then at that point get some motivation to forge you ahead. Programming is not easy and it won't be easy. Get the basics strong and move on. If you don't get the basics right you might likely give up in the long run.
Love Java, live kotlin. Happy coding.

Hi there. I'm a newbie to android app development. I've heard so much about Kotlin and people say its easier to learn . Should I go ahead with Java or just learn Kotlin?

I appreciate the suggestions.

I am a software developer (mobile). I use Java in most of my apps I equally have a grasp of kotlin. I will tell you to start with Java because of large community but kotlin is getting larger as well. And what is the difference between the two? Just the syntax which is applicable to all languages. If you are comfortable with Java you can switch to kotlin within a month. Kotlin has some features which has not been added to Java for Android due to court case btw oracle and Google. Currently, Android supports Java 7 and some fractions of Java 8 like lambda etc not all, though. Kotlin is easy and not easy. It is easy for experience Java Dev that's why it is so easy for me to grasp kotlin within a month. But I'll recommend that you you start with Java. Make sure you have fundamental knowledge of Java before you dive in to Android. Get understanding of Java oop, multithreading, collection, garbage collector, interface and class, anonymous inner class, and with of course loops, conditional statements. With this knowledge, you can start android, build two to three apps then try kotlin.

Love Java, live kotlin. Happy coding.

Seun is going to like this guy. They belong to the same belief.

Op you're indeed smart. Back then in my higher institution days, all these terms and more were taught but boyy don forget everything.

Join the train

..... to where?

Do you know than the people involved?

If we speak up who will help us?

Invalid address

He ought to have calmed himself down when he knew he will be going for second term rather than showing his weak points to osho to get to him.

Should we be worried?

Good for her

This is really getting interesting.

Billionword:
Mobile App developer is needed urgently -

Native App Dev or Hybrid Dev?

Remember that dotnet is a framework and Java is a technology and a language.

Just as the op above said, the comparison should be between spring framework and dotnet

OR

JAVA VS C#

And more so, there is no need to compare the two languages. It's totally a waste of time.

congratulations bro

I fear politicians, see as record was dug out just to bring him down

I don't know but those creatures are too scary

Controversial indeed

1-100

I want to read the numbers in that range. I can follow 3 ways: while, do while and for loops. this simply mean I want to read from 1 to 100, reading this involves iteration i.e repeating. so, you are going start from 1 which is the starting point to 100 which is the target point. I am going to use Java as I'm a Java dev. let's go.

for(int i=1; i<=100; i++){
      System.out.println("Number : " +i);
}

The above code will print: Number : 1 to Number : 100

that is for for loop

int i =1;
          while (i<=100){
          System.out.println("Number : " +i );
         i++;
     }

this is while loop

int i =1;
          do{
           System.out.println("Number : " + i);
            i++;
         }while(i<=100);

this for do while loop.


For the above code snippets you gonna get the same result that is, Number 1 - Number 100

There is another loop called foreach or enhancedfor loop

for(int  var : refVar){
   System.out.println(var);
  }

that's the syntax.

Oya, let's learn from your experience.
