Description
This workshop is for Java developers, that want to get started with Android development. It covers the basics in Android programming and usage of the new Android build system. You will create your first application during the workshop and will create a simple cloud backend for synchronization of your data. We will learn about basic Android concepts like Activities, Services or the Android resource system. Since this workshop targets total Android beginners, we won't cover topics as native (C/C++) coding in Android or responsive user-interface designs.

You do NOT need any knowledge in Android programming.
What should you prepare for the workshop?
