Hi

I don't have any idea about android app development but I want to learn it. Will this workshop be useful for me or there are any pre-requisites?

The only pre requisites is that you know to code (c++ or any language). You dont have to know about android.

We start from scratch and hence the duration of 6 days. The focus will be on walking away with an app towards the end of bootcamp.

@ Amol  - Hi! 

The amount will be refunded upon 100% attendance.

@:  Radhika - Hi! 

Its not possible for change of dates, as many of the students want to finish off with the Android workshop after the endsems & then proceed for home till they come back for MI. Also, this is convenient for the Google Developers as well.
