Google to teach you how to write Android apps

PanARMENIAN.Net - Google is introducing an Android Basics nanodegree (available in a week-long free trial) at Udacity that has Google experts teaching you how to write simple Android apps, even if you don't know a lick of code, Engadget reports.

The online course guides you far enough through Android Studio that you'll have an "entire portfolio" of programs by the time you're done -- you may not write the next Instagram, but you should be comfortable.

You can pay for coaching, career counseling and other help if you like, and Google is encouraging you to move on to the Career-track Android nanodegree if you see development as your calling in life. It'll even give you a scholarship for that mini-degree if you're one of the first 50 people to complete the Basics course.
