Once upon a time, my teacher asked me to write a program to check if the input is leap year. I went to my teacher and asked him "Sir, can you please explain why you wrote if(i%4==0)?". He told me to get lost saying "I ll never learn programming"
Are you like me whose teacher writes code and never explains why? You have finally come to the right instructor on Udemy who teaches you now just how to code but also why.
I have taught 100000+ people so far on my channel slidenerd which is rated as one of the topmost sources in the world to learn Android or IOS and other aspects of mobile development and general programming by several online blogs and forums. I have made several hundred videos on YouTube over the years and many of them are at the top of the search results on YouTube and Google.
I have real world teaching experience and a degree in IT Engineering. with more than 10 years of coding experience. I have won several coding challenges in the meantime. What do you say? we learn the how, what, why behind everything together? Gary Simon is a professional freelance graphics and web designer with well over a decade of experience. Having served over a thousand clients, Gary understands many facets of the design industry.
He has also been a course instructor for several of the top online education

By Shubhangi Mane

The course is awesome for beginners with basic java knowledge. I would recommend it to my friends.

By Luis Berger

By the title of the course, I thought it would be a really practical content. However, after hours and hours of classes, I'm right now at the 40 video and its the first time that the instructor starts to teach about programming the BucketDrop App. In my opinion, this should be the very first video after designing the app. The videos before this one that i talked about feel so unpractical and useless, because I don't even know which part of the content I will be using at the app development. This way, when I really need the content that has already been teached, I'll have to go back and rewatch some classes to understand finally understand how things works, once that now I would know what they are used for.
Nevertheless, it is a good course. I only feel that the classes are poorly structured and the instructor is not good with teaching, even thought he is a good programmer.
Another problem that I ran through is that I'm not a native english speaker and the instructor's accent is really difficult to understand.

By PrimoÅ¾ Pesjak

The course is really awesome, if you don't have the experience with the android. I really learned alot from this videos, so i can definitely recommend it. I don't know how much i learned but i can say that is a lot. I'll probably still have to Google alot, but this course gives you a preview of Android.
