Efficient programming in Android Training Course

Android is Google’s mobile operating system. This course provides hands-on training to demonstrate the fundamental concepts of Android, tailored to enhance skills and knowledge for government professionals.

The objective of cross-platform frameworks is to enable developers to write applications once and deploy them on multiple platforms. Whether you need to build an iPhone app that will also run on Android or have a requirement for an Android app to function on Windows Phone, these frameworks provide the necessary tools and support.

This three-day course on PhoneGap/Apache Cordova is designed to explore two different yet complementary technologies for cross-platform mobile development. (Apache Cordova was formerly known as PhoneGap. Adobe acquired PhoneGap from its original developers and donated it to the Apache Software Foundation.)

Upon completion of this PhoneGap/Apache Cordova course, participants will be equipped to build fully-functional mobile Web applications using the framework, manage source code effectively, handle platform-specific adjustments, create “native-like” user experiences from a web application, and much more. This training is tailored for government professionals who need robust solutions for government workflows and governance.

This course has been designed for individuals interested in developing Android applications for government use.
