Thanks for joining Java for Android, which is the first MOOC in our Android App Development Specialization. This MOOC teaches you how to program core features and classes from the Java programming language that are used in Android, which is the dominant platform for developing and deploying mobile device apps.

This MOOC covers key Java programming language features that control the flow of execution through an app (such as Java's various looping constructs and conditional statements), enable access to structured data (such as Java's built-in arrays and common classes in the Java Collections Framework, such as ArrayList and HashMap), group related operations and data into classes and interfaces (such as Java's primitive and user-defined types, fields, methods, generic parameters, and exceptions), customize the behavior of existing classes via inheritance and polymorphism (such as subclassing and overriding virtual methods). You'll apply these Java features in the context of core Android components (such as Activities and basic UI elements) by applying common tools (such as Android Studio) needed to develop Java programs and useful Android apps.

This MOOC is intended for beginners to computer programming or new to the Java programming language who want to develop apps for the Android platform. Thus there are no specific prerequisites for this MOOC. The class will primarily consist of lecture videos, which are generally between 5 and 15 minutes in length. Additional MOOC activities include short quizzes, auto-graded programming assignments, peer review assignments, and online discussions. We've organized all these topics into units that represent roughly 4-6 hours of work each each. If you choose not to follow this pace, however, you are welcome to move through the MOOC at your own pace, participating as much or as little as fits your needs.
We look forward to your participation!

Julie Johnson, Jerry Roth, Doug Schmidt, and Michael Walker
