Many people are already familiar with the Android moniker. Most are familiar with it as a type of phone, but it more specifically refers to the software that many phones, tablets, watches, and TVs use. With this software, a full operating environment is available on these devices that does everything from displaying text to handling phone calls to running mobile apps. At Treehouse, you’ll be able to learn how to develop these apps yourself. Android is ever-changing and the tools are changing as well. With Treehouse, you’ll be able to use our courses to stay on top of it. When you learn Android development, you learn how to write powerful mobile applications that can do things like read external data sources, store and retrieve data from back-end systems, access and manage user accounts, and manage photo and video information. With the Java programming language and the Android SDK, or software development kit, you can make these types of apps. Treehouse will help you learn the basics of Java and teach you how to use Android’s tools to develop Android apps.

By using Treehouse, you’ll get the skills you need to start or advance a career that involves Android programming and development. If you want to break into this industry, then Treehouse can give you everything you need to do it.

Treehouse courses are built to be efficient. You can learn these skills quickly, but also in-depth. Even though you’re taking a relatively fast-track, our courses are designed to help you fully grasp the concepts and learn to be an Android developer. You can start from the very bottom with our basic courses or you can diversify your skill set with our more specific, advanced courses. Treehouse lets you learn the way you want to learn.

We also know how full-time jobs or full-time parenting can get in the way of developing a new skill. That’s why our courses are designed to be self-paced. You can take Treehouse courses whenever it’s most convenient for you. Whenever you have time to pick up a lesson, then Treehouse will be the tool to help you get where you’re wanting to go. Many full-time students are able to comfortably complete some of our tracks in three months.

In addition to customizing our learning environment to fit a variety of learning styles, we’ve made sure to bring the best teaching staff on board to help you along the way. With their experience in their fields, they bring a fresh curriculum that is made to help you understand how to apply the material in real-world situations. Treehouse students walk away feeling like they have a full and confident grasp on the subject matter they choose.

Finally, sometimes online learning can feel like you’re siloed. But with Treehouse, you’ll get to talk with other students and teachers through our Slack channel. This lets you build connections while also being able to communicate and work through problems with other students. After Treehouse, you’ll be able to continue to connect with your network, possibly leading to more opportunities for everyone.

Whether you’re needing to start from scratch or renew your skills, Treehouse is the perfect solution. Coding languages are very prone to change, so our courses are always fresh with the latest knowledge you need to have for any given programming language.

Our resources are designed to help you practice and reinforce these concepts. Practice modules and interactive videos are just some of the tools we give you to learn different Android programming and development skills that you’ll need to succeed in the job market.

Learning a skill is a truly complicated task, but with Treehouse each of our tracks is dedicated to an individual skill that helps you focus on one concept at a time.
