Apple makes headlines every year with their big splashy new iPhone rollout events, but it doesn’t change the fact that three quarters of you still own an Android phone instead. And apps for Android just keep exploding. By 2022, mobile app downloads are projected to reach 258 billion, a surge of almost 50 percent from 2017. That represents $157 billion spent on apps worldwide every year. If that has you thinking about how to make your cool idea into an Android app…well, it should. Right now, the training in The 2021 Android Development eBook and Video Course Super Bundle ($29.99, over 90 percent off, from TNW Deals) can help you understand how to grab your cut of those untold riches. The package features 5 video courses and 6 ebooks combining for almost 50 hours of instruction that explore the core concepts and tools used to build apps in the Android environment. Users will even learn how to best get those creations into the hands of their waiting audience. For those who have never coded before, there’s a pathway here to get started, beginning with the Android Programming for Beginners, 2nd Edition ebook. This training introduces users to all the fundamental concepts of programming in Android, from the basics of Java to working with the Android API. With the foundations in place, further ebooks and video series get into closer looks at specific tools for creating Android apps, covering everything from the Java and Kotlin programming languages to the Spring framework to the Firebase platform. As coursework like the Android 9 Development Cookbook walks users through deploying various app solutions to actually start creating apps, other instruction will help firm up the development process. Students will examine how to modernize and enhance app interfaces, who to help apps communicate better between their activities, as well as how to troubleshoot if something isn’t working quite as expected. And since many will want to build cool new Android games, there’s also an expansive 32-hour Unity Android Game Development: Build 7 2D and 3D Games set of training that explains how to use Unity, the world’s most popular game engine, to take advantage of all the tricks for making your games more immersive and more exciting. It would cost almost $900 to amass all these ebooks and training, but as part of this bundle, they’re all available for less than $3 each, just $29.99. Prices are subject to change.
