00:00:01,210 --> 00:00:07,120
Welcome back in this video, I would like to show you how you can get the most out of this course.

2
00:00:07,570 --> 00:00:13,780
So this course was built with jetpack compose in mind, even though there are a couple of chapters that

3
00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:19,480
I've taken from my Android masterclass or if you have taken my Android masterclass, then you can jump

4
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,010
to Section six directly.

5
00:00:21,010 --> 00:00:26,350
So if you have gone through the cut in basics before, if you haven't, then the worries just go through

6
00:00:26,350 --> 00:00:31,340
the cotton basics in section two, three, four and five and then you will be.

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,310
Then you will feel quite confident getting started with that compose specific feature.

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,830
So the jetpack compose specific features.

9
00:00:39,490 --> 00:00:46,390
And what I would recommend is if you are getting stuck and if you just can't find the solution using

10
00:00:46,390 --> 00:00:51,940
Google, for example, you can just use the Q and A. and create a new entry here.

11
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:55,890
So whenever you're stuck and you have a question, just search for the question first.

12
00:00:55,900 --> 00:01:00,400
And if you can't find it, then create it directly on the lecture that you currently at.

13
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:08,050
So let's say you are having struggles taking care of data types of numbers so you don't fully understand

14
00:01:08,290 --> 00:01:13,090
something and you have a question, and then you can just go ahead and ask new question here.

15
00:01:13,090 --> 00:01:18,910
So you would just go here to ask in your question, and I would recommend to ask the course content

16
00:01:18,910 --> 00:01:20,260
specific questions here.

17
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,850
And then you can just create the summary of what the question is about.

18
00:01:25,090 --> 00:01:29,890
And it's really important that you do it based on the lecture itself, where the question is, so we

19
00:01:29,890 --> 00:01:32,470
know better what the question is about.

20
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:36,700
Give us as much details as possible in order for us to be able to help you out.

21
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:37,720
All right.

22
00:01:38,110 --> 00:01:43,060
And then if you are making progress as well and you just want to share something with us and you're

23
00:01:43,060 --> 00:01:45,910
happy about the progress, then feel free to share it here as well.

24
00:01:46,390 --> 00:01:50,710
Also, something that Udemy does quite early is to ask you for a review.

25
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:56,080
So if you feel like you're not ready to give you a review yet, then just don't do it at that point

26
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:02,800
and to postpone it to a later point, because I don't think you can give a realistic review after just

27
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,410
a couple of lectures that you have seen.

28
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,740
So then what you can also do is you can change the playback rates in case I'm too fast, just slow me

29
00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:17,170
down in case I'm too slow for you, just put the speed up all the way up to 2x.

30
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:21,010
So if you just want to listen without coding along to X would be fine.

31
00:02:21,310 --> 00:02:23,410
But I would always recommend the quarter long.

32
00:02:23,410 --> 00:02:28,900
So really try to open up Android Studio at the same time and really rebuild everything that I'm going

33
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:29,260
to build.

34
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:35,860
This will have a significantly better impact on your success of becoming an Android developer.

35
00:02:36,430 --> 00:02:37,970
I would recommend you check them out.

36
00:02:38,020 --> 00:02:41,140
We also add the links to the code directly.

37
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:47,500
Sometimes we have the code available for you in the lecture itself, so you can just use that code and

38
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:49,120
paste it into your own project.

39
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,310
Otherwise, we sometimes have the code available for you in the link where you go to GitHub and you

40
00:02:54,310 --> 00:02:55,810
can download the code from there.

41
00:02:56,530 --> 00:03:03,250
Sometimes I'm also publishing announcements, so if you want to get updated on the latest and greatest

42
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:09,040
of what's up in Android and in my field, or, for example, my YouTube channel and so forth, definitely

43
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,870
check out the announcements every now and then.

44
00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:18,700
And then there's also something that I need to say, and that is that I have taken chapters or sections

45
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:22,240
two to five from my Android masterclass, as I have stated before.

46
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:29,770
This also means that we are going to use the old fashioned approach here of not creating compose specific

47
00:03:29,770 --> 00:03:31,330
applications in the first chapter.

48
00:03:31,630 --> 00:03:37,540
We are going to, however, do it starting from section six, but you should know the basics of Kotlin

49
00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:43,390
when you are at Section six because I'm not going to cover the absolute basics there, only to compose

50
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:44,590
specific basics.

51
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:49,210
OK, with that said, I'm really excited to have you in the course.

52
00:03:49,210 --> 00:03:50,860
I wish you all the best on your journey.

53
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:55,960
You will become an Android developer once you are done with this course, you will already be an Android

54
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,830
developer after having built your first, even though maybe not the best one yet.

55
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,980
But you can definitely keep on going in the course and you will become better with every single application

56
00:04:05,980 --> 00:04:06,940
that you're going to build.

57
00:04:07,510 --> 00:04:11,530
So at this point, let's just get started with the next lecture.

58
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,620
Well, we're going to install Android Studio on Windows, and if you have a mic, follow the mic instructions.

59
00:04:17,620 --> 00:04:19,870
If you have Linux, obviously the next instructions.

60
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:21,190
So let's get started.
