Re: [android-developers] Re: Android development Online course at UCI
HI all thanks for the reply. I hv already read some books and learning android. Yes you all are right, java knowledge is must. I also have 1 yr working exp on java development. But the pt is, how can I show the android knowledge in my resume? How can a recruiter believe from looking at my resume that I will be able to do coding on android, if I keep reading from the books and internet, and even if I am capable of doing good programming of android? --Riddhi On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 11:22 PM, jayaram p jayaram.papp...@gmail.com wrote: Personally feel that http://developer.android.com is the best source of information to learn or to teach android.

This isn't to say that the course has no merit: surely they point things out to you that you might not have figured as quickly alone, and the extra pressure of a course forcing you to do assignments on a regular basis changes things as well. I also want to know if anyone has any idea about it, what is the difference between University of California Irvine and University or California Irvine Extension degree. Are these both same collage or different? Completely separate entities, UC Irvine is an internationally recognized institution, an extension degree would a) take much more than one class, and b) is not held to as high a standard as a traditional CS degree from the actual institution.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android development Online course at UCI
You typically include links to completed apps on your resume. This way employers know you can complete an application and that they're not paying for you to learn.
