Is this track Android only, or does it cover iOS?

Most of the time is Android with Kotlin, then a short cross-platform pass with Flutter so you see how teams ship to more than one store. Swift and SwiftUI are not on the syllabus right now.

Will I need to own an Android device?

Not necessarily. Android Studio ships with an emulator that is enough to finish the work. A real phone helps for feel and performance, but it is optional.

What do I build during the track?

You grow one Android app from simple screens to something that talks to an API and moves between destinations without falling apart. Along the way you touch Android Studio, Kotlin, Git, Postman when APIs misbehave, and emulator or device checks, then peek at Flutter/Dart. When interviews ask what you shipped, you have a concrete story.

What this track is

About this track

You build native Android in Kotlin and touch Flutter so you see when teams choose cross-platform. Days are spent in Android Studio: layouts, navigation, wiring data, reading errors, fixing them, and running builds on emulators or devices. Git and Postman are part of the rhythm, same as in hiring interviews. The pace is technical. If you are new to code, expect to practise between sessions. If you already have basics, you will move faster through the foundations.

Who this track is for

Developers moving into mobile

Backend or frontend developers who want to specialize in Android or cross-platform mobile work.

CS or IT graduates

Graduates who want to apply their fundamentals in a practical, employer-relevant mobile context.

Motivated beginners with patience for code

People new to programming who are committed to working through a technical track systematically.

Curriculum

What you will learn

Organised into modules that build on each other. The content is structured, not arbitrary.

Module 1

Programming fundamentals and Kotlin basics

Variables, types, functions, and control flow in Kotlin
Object-oriented thinking: classes, objects, and inheritance
Collections and null safety in Kotlin
Reading and understanding documentation and error messages

Module 2

Android UI and navigation

Building layouts with Jetpack Compose or XML
Screen navigation and back stack management
Handling user input and form interactions
Responsive layout basics for different screen sizes

Module 3

State, data, and APIs

Managing UI state and understanding lifecycle
Making HTTP requests and handling responses
Parsing and displaying data from a REST API
Basic local data persistence

Module 4

Readiness, APIs in practice, and shipping

Android Studio: emulator vs device testing and build variants
Git and GitHub: branches, reviews, and a clean history before release
API checks with Postman against real endpoints you consume in the app
Testing fundamentals: unit checks and basic UI verification
Release prep: signing, versioning, Play Console basics, and Flutter/Dart as a cross-platform lens

Stack

Tools & technologies we use

IDE, language, version control, API checks, and what “ready to ship” means on Android. Each module adds another layer to the same app.

Android Studio

IDE, emulator, Gradle integration, and debugging, the standard Android development environment.

Kotlin

Primary language for native Android UI, navigation, and data work.

Flutter

Cross-platform module, understanding when teams choose Flutter vs native Android.

Dart

Cross-platform module, understanding when teams choose Flutter vs native Android.

Git

Branches, commits, and pull requests so mentors can review your progress like a real team.

GitHub

Branches, commits, and pull requests so mentors can review your progress like a real team.

Postman

Inspecting REST APIs, headers, and payloads before you wire responses into the UI.

Android Emulator

Running builds on emulators and, when available, physical hardware for realistic checks.

devices

Running builds on emulators and, when available, physical hardware for realistic checks.

Google Play Console (basics)

Versioning, signing, and what “release readiness” means for the Play Store, not deep store marketing.

You can complete the track on free tiers where tools offer them (e.g. GitHub, Android emulator). Optional device hardware is helpful but not required.

Format

How the learning works

Not self-paced video content. A structured programme with real outputs and structured feedback.

Working code from week one

You build a real Android application throughout the track, adding features as you progress through each module.

Mentor-guided debugging

Getting stuck is part of learning to code. Mentor support is structured to help you understand why something broke, not just fix it for you.

Readiness focus

The track ends with app deployment preparation and code review, practical activities that mirror what junior developer roles look like.

Outcomes

What this prepares you for

Realistic, honest expectations. The track gives you foundation and practice. What you do with it determines what comes next.

A working Android application you built during the track
Confidence with Kotlin, Android Studio, Git workflows, and API checks with Postman
Practical understanding of mobile UI, navigation, and data fetching
Foundation for junior Android developer or mobile developer roles

FAQ

Mobile Development: common questions

Still have a question not covered here?

Start a conversation

You do not need a published app, but you should already be comfortable with variables, functions, and basic logic. Kotlin fundamentals are taught here; if you have never written code at all, a gentler first course is usually kinder.
