Udacity Course Summary.
Android Fundamentals blends theory and practice to help you build great Android apps. In this course, you'll learn the best practices of mobile development in general and Android development in particular while working on the 'Sunshine' application.
Sunshine is a basic weather app that uses the Open Weather API to provide users with a 10 day forecast of the weather at their chosen location. Some boiler-plate code is provided, but students must complete assignments by undertaking increasingly complex tasks within the code as the programme progresses. The main instructor's code base can be found online in GitHub under 'Sunshine 2'.
