Who can attend and What will you need

This workshop expects that the attendees have basic programming skills (Java specifically). If you need to be certain, please read my blog to check if you are ready to become an Android Programmer?

During the training, you will also need the following:

• A notebook computer. You can use a Windows PC, Mac Book or a Linux notebook, it doesn't really matter

• A properly setup android environment. Best to download the SDK before attending the course, it might take you a while because the SDK is rather hefty. If you need some directions on how to do this, I wrote a small set of instructions here

• An android device. This is completely optional. You can explore android programming without a physical device. From my experience though, I really will urge you to invest in an (even cheap) android device because testing with the AVD is excruciatingly and painfully slow.
