The Android Development Course is a student-led computer science course which was offered at UC Davis during the winter 2021 quarter. This course provided the unique offering for students who wanted to learn core android development at a basic level and were not sure how.
The course allowed students to learn from lectures, understand from example projects, build their own projects, and become inspired from guest speakers. All of these aspects have been reflected and shared through this site for those interested in learning Android or revisiting some fundamentals.
This course was extensively developed by Akshey Nama and Omar Burney during their senior year at UC Davis, with a mission to learn and give back to the community. By popular demand, the course is scheduled to be taught again at UC Davis for the winter 2022 quarter!
