These applications can enhance the user experience, increase productivity and provide entertainment. Considering the growing popularity and usability of Android, there is great need for application developers skilled in this platform. The Developing Mobile Apps for the Android Platform program is meant for professionals who understand Java programming and are keen to acquire skills that enable them to develop applications on Android.
