UI Design
An app with great functionality must be complemented by top notch User Experience and a neat User Interface. We teach building both common and upcoming UI/UX patterns.

How much knowledge of Data Structures and Algorithms do I need to take this course?
I have no idea of Java. Can I join ?
That is not a problem, if the aforementioned concpets are clear, and you have coded in some other language like C++ before. We will cover the syntax of Java in the first couple of classes.
Will there by any app development projects ?
Yes, most definitely. No android app development course is complete without projects, and we have a lot of focus on working on live android app development projects and practical topics.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★Android App Development Course Review:I did my android app development course this summer and no doubt It was great learning there. You get complete insight into the world of android app development. And we were made to implement everything there and then in class, Which works great for you because u cannot procrastinate and your doubts are cleared in the class itself. Which gives you so much time to explore more things on your own.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★Android App Development Course Review:Our mentor for Android App Development Course was Harshit Dwivedi aka the-dagger, the way he delivers the concepts is quite simple and leaves an impression in your mind, even difficult and tricky concepts can't stop or reduce his efficiency. The batch I attended was his first batch, now you get an idea to imagine his approach. And yes how can one forget about the “swags”? He has a simple trick to make students involved into codes, he asks to do an extra effort and in return he distributes swags.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★Android App Development Course Review:I attended the Pandora Android App Development course at Dwarka center this summer. It was ‘cool’ ,the learning curve increased exponentially. The instructor (the-dagger) explained the concepts beautifully and cleared all the doubts in the class. The environment was also very friendly and you will never feel like you are in a class. The homework and the class exercises were of good level and connected every part of previous and current lecture which in turn made the learning more profitable.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★Android App Development Course Review:I enrolled into Android App Development Course with extremely talented and technically sound instructors, the course lectures are not only informative but actually help us relate code with its real world applications. You know exactly what is happening and why it's happening. Because what is being taught, is side by side being implemented by you on your laptops.
