Android Architecture For the Industry: Learn to Confidently Create a Scaling Structure For Your Apps From Scratch
Master putting together the puzzle pieces world-class apps are made of – and worry less about unexpected bugs and spaghetti code.
After the Architecture Masterclass course, you will…
Understand architecture beyond popular patterns
Do you think architecture on Android is about MVVM, MVI or clean architecture? All those paradigms are built on top of the same fundamental architectural principles. Understand these fundamental principles and you understand every specific pattern out there.
Know how to transform Figma designs into a real app
With this course, you get full access to the app’s designs on Figma – which we will frequently reference during the course, so you learn how you can take real-world requirements and transform them into a high-performing app that meets them.
Approach your own apps with confidence
At some point, putting together a solid architecture is about nothing more than a set of rules your mind intuitively combines. This course prepares you to get to this point, so you can architect apps from scratch intuitively.
Understand crucial Android topics
You can’t learn proper architecture without practicing that at a somewhat complex app using various technologies. The app you learn to build in this course teaches you concepts like multi-table databases, voice recording, audio playback, file storage, preferences and more – all put together with a solid architecture.
Philipp Lackner has over 14 years of experience in the software field. Over the past years, he built a following of over 250,000 developers on social media who trust his work. With over 25,000 sold copies of his courses and 1,000h+ spent for teaching Android concepts, he already helped hundreds of thousands people to learn practical skills they can immediately apply.
He has a degree in computer science, however it didn’t go as expected. The amount of theory that was taught in university made him think about a better approach to learn what is really needed in the real world. Over time, Philipp found mentors who taught him exactly that in a practical setting. That was the game changer for his career.
After having worked for dozens of companies around the globe as a consultant, Philipp now wants to teach other Kotlin developers what really counts for becoming an outstanding developer in today’s competitive industry.
