Android is the most popular platform used by developers to build dynamic, production-ready mobile applications.

This 2-in-1 comprehensive course teaches you different Android development patterns that will enable you to write clean code and make your app stand out in the crowd. Create a clear path from problem to solution, and although applying a design pattern does not guarantee best practice in itself, it will hugely assist the process and make the discovery of design flaws far easier.
