[Shot A] Now it’s important to remember that we’re not here to teach you how to build a weather app. It’s not even to teach you all the Android APIs that we’ll use to build it. It’s really about re-training your brain to start thinking like a mobile developer. Which is really important because at the end of this course we’re going to ask you to build your own final project.
[Shot B] We’re expecting you to already be familiar with object oriented programming, and have experience with Java, or a similar language -- personally I got started with Android after years of Delphi and C# .NET development.
[Shot C] As engineers, we’re trained to map our experience in one language or SDK into new ones -- looking for patterns and shortcuts so we can get up to speed as quickly as possible. But mobile - and Android in particular - has some fundamental differences that mean some of our experience and intuition will make you a worse mobile engineer.
