If you’re a developer (or at least a good one), once you know how to make an app, the learning doesn’t stop from there. Especially now that everything is just so dynamic and ever-changing, you always need to keep updated with the latest tech, the newest developments in design, and all the new things that keep popping up every few months. Now, a free course about Android is available for developers everywhere who would be interested in learning more about the platform.

The course is simply entitled Android Design for Developers and has been developed by Google themselves, together with Udacity, an online education portal. It is a 5 lesson series that targets people who already have a background or a working knowledge of how to create Android apps or designers that need to understand the platform they’re working on. If you don’t know yet how to make Android apps, you can always take one of their Developing Android Apps course.

But if you already know how to, then this course will develop your design skills for Android. The first lesson is a crash course on developing for Android, including the “principles and implementation of material design.” The next one is all about “tangible surfaces” to help make your UI more understandable to the user. Lesson 3 tackles “bold graphic design” and all the principles that go behind it including space, color, typography, imagery. The 4th lesson deals with motion to make a more seamless and also intuitive experience. Lastly, you will learn how adaptive design is a must-have for any app you’re making.

If you want to take this course, simply head on over to the Udacity page to enroll. You would need to have the latest version of Android Studio and of course, have a device where you can try things out. The code is shared through Github, so you need to have access to it as well.

  1. Udacity as referred in this article, its cofounder Sebastian Thrun had involved into a decade long criminal case which is fascism by nature and which had endangered human lives, starting from a simple campus atrocity case with clear evidence and serious police investigation __[Stanford police case number: IR #04-111-0335; Victim: Peter Cao; Criminal Suspect: Gabriele Scheler]__http://alturlDOTcom/pa672 (replace DOT with . for the right web address) __attention to the 7 photo evidence;

    But how could such a simple campus atrocity case turn into a series of fascism crimes for over a decade long which got more and more innocent people involved?___That’s because miscarriage of justice (by cowardice hidden judicial officers ZZZ/YYY/VVV from Santa Clara DA? or from FBI?, etc.) is going on; fascism prevails; Justice has not been done;

    ___Such fascism crimes have to be disciplined by laws and such fascists like Gabriele Scheler/Sebastian Thrun/ZZZ/YYY/VVV and the likes have to be brought to justice; they can’t escape from it;

  2. ___Would anybody or any organization like to associate himself/herslef/itself with personnel associated with fascism crimes, the likes of Udacity cofounder Sebastian Thrun?

    ___But why would GOOGLE?___Is that because GOOGLE is now being besieged/terrorized/extorted by EU (e.g. Ms Margrethe Vestager, a 47-year-old former finance minister from Denmark) which was backed up by the most powerful figures from Germany (Angela Merkel) behind the scene, who’s providing political support to the two German origins Sebastian Thrun and Gabriele Scheler for their unruly thuggish criminal behaviors against human society, which imposes a serious offending to the dignity and sovereignty of the people of United States, as well as to the whole world of humanity?

    ___A dire consequence out of a sorcery, which puts a spell onto GOOGLE, exercised by some guess-who?-easily EU witch, or witches:(

    ___They intend to squeeze, no matter how hard you want to argue; a Witch-Buster in need now, will be a Witch-Buster indeed:)

    ___Well, I wish Sebastian Thrun’s tie with Google again this time via Udacity would not serve as a valid testament to his innocence in his involvement into a series of fascism crimes that centered on him;___this decade-long fascism criminal case will have to be clarified eventually, and such fascists as Sebastian Thrun/Gabriele Scheler/ZZZ/YYY/VVV and the likes will have to be brought to justice; they can’t escape from it;

  3. I wish this campus atrocity case ___[Stanford police case number: IR #04-111-0335; Victim: Peter Cao; Criminal Suspect: Gabriele Scheler]___, which turned into a series of fascism crimes for over a decade long, could serve as an Educational Material to all Universities and Institutions World-Wide;

    ___Watch out! If any lady from Germany (e.g. Gabriele Scheler) works on your campus, she could behave extremely irrationally, such as molest your office properties, physically injure other scholars (e.g. in case of Gabriele Scheler, see photo evidence of her inhuman atrocity on my body as documented in http://alturlDOTcom/pa672 (Replace DOT with . for the right web address)), and then recant her testimony and shamelessly falsely accuse victims with the collusive help from some cowardice and malicious hidden judicial officers (in this case, ZZZ/YYY/VVV, from Santa Clara DA? or from FBI?, etc. Who are they? Why are they hidding from public scrutiny?)___and that’s why Miscarriage of justice is going on;

    ___And also watch out! some Professor of German origin (e.g. Sebastian Thrun), the fascism powers behind whom could bring into our lives fascism crimes which could endanger human lives … and even though both this Germany lady and this professor of German origin (Gabriele Scheler and Sebastian Thrun) had committed crimes on your campus with clear evidence and serious police investigation, they could still pretend innocent by keeping silence (can they fool us like that for ever?), despite so much concrete evidence and undeniable facts of their involvment into fascism crimes which had produced endless tragedies into our lives, and they could even terrorize/extort authorities and retaliate on victims and set up coups in your University, with the political support from the most powerful figures from Germany (Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel; Merkel must have plotted to form an alliance of Axis in the U.S.___What?Who?You bet, easily … tell you more later…);___and that’s why fascism prevails;

  4. I’ve said the following to folks of the Smithsonians and the ‘U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ and the ‘Internet Society’, who recently scheduled to blatantly boost Thrun’s image with distinguished ‘James Smithson Bicentennial Medal’ award and a talk show staged at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History; I wish my words would have made them rethink their stance in this war against fascism crimes; and I also think these words would universally apply to anyone in human society, and I wish that each one of the Trustees of Stanford University Board would hold the integrity and moral standard high enough to agree with what the meaning of the following words carry on:

    …………………………..

    Dear Mr. Al Horvath, Acting Secretary of Smithsonian,
    Mr. John Gray, Director of National Museum of American History,
    Mr. León Rodríguez, Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services,
    Ms. Kathy Brown, CEO of the Internet Society,
    and all other people related to this event,

    ___With your names listed in it, this is also about you, about your fame, your prestige, your morality, your credibility, about who you want to be in alignment with, i.e. what kind of a bird of a feather you want to belong to, about how you want to be seen in sight of the majority of the average people, about your commitment to the whole world of humanity, about how your heritage to be remembered in history by our descendant generations in the future … Doesn’t that make any sense to you? Doesn’t that mean anything to anyone of you, at all? Don’t you feel anything in it, after all? … Your thoughts and feedbacks, please:)

    ___I hope the above words would also be understood by Stanford University Board of Trustees, hope I not?:)

    ___I hope the above words would also be understood by leaders of Google Inc., e.g. Google CEO Sundar Pichai, as well;

  5. One word to attribute Gabriele Scheler/Sebastian Thrun/ ZZZ/YYY/VVV and even Angela Merkel’s behaviors in this decade long criminal case is ‘Thuggish’; They are birds of a feather, anyway;

    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    What those fascists, Sebastian Thrun/Gabriele Scheler/ZZZ/YYY/VVV (and now even Angela Merkel), etc. had done in this case is “thuggish”, such as injure my body, molest office properties, recant testimony and falsely accuse me at somewhere unknown to me in the judicial system, conspire/retaliate on victims which had endangered human lives and which get more and more innocent people entangled, and also beseige/terrorize/extort authorities which should be another set of crimes to be prosecuted, etc.,

    ___With the collusive help from ZZZ/YYY/VVV, such a simple campus atrocity case with clear evidence and serious police investigation had been purposefully mystified in the judicial system later on and poised to be kept mystifyed for ever; and those fascists had tried to hide themselves in shadow of others and pretend they are innocent by way of keeping silence, despite so much concrete evidence and undeniable facts of their involvement into fascism crimes presented through links in my public challenge, though questions remain in minds of us all: What’s going on here? Can they fool us like that for ever? Those fascists had committed crimes against the entire human society, but not only against me or against Stanford University, and they have to be disciplined by laws accordingly when the case clarified; that’s what we call fairness and justice; ___Under such situation, “Thug” will be a precisely right choice of word to attribute to those fascists over their “thuggish” behaviors;

    ___Would anybody here like to join a thuggish group or associate his/her name to fascism crimes via Sebastian Thrun / Gabriele Scheler/ ZZZ/YYY/VVV (even Angela Merkel)? Would anybody here like to take actions in alignment with those fascists and be a bird of a feather with them?___Why would anybody?

    But, what or who keeps this case from being clarified for over a decade long while it keeps producing tragedies into our lives? Who keeps the case from being clarified with CONFRONTATION, which BY LAW what we have to do?

    Would any kind of fascism be tolerated in Stanford University? Would such ‘thuggish’ behaviors be allowed to exist in Stanford Society? Would anybody here like to live in a society without FAIRNESS and JUSTICE? ___I don’t think anybody from Stanford University would, and I don’t think anybody from Stanford University Board of Trustees would, either, and I don’t think anybody from GOOGLE or from any other part of the world would, at all___am I right, again and again? 🙂

  6. As one of the primary victims in a series of fascism crimes originated in this Stanford University Campus Atrocity Case [Stanford Police Case Number: IR#04-111-0335; Victim: Peter Cao; Criminal Suspect: Gabriele Scheler]; I hereby formally challenge each one of those listed in Stanford University Board of Trustees and in this PRETENTIOUS “Presidential Search Committee”, Particularly, Mr. Isaac Stein of Search Committee Chair, and Mr. Steven A. Denning, Chair of Stanford University Board of Trustees that:

    1. Would you like to live in a society without FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE? Would you like to support any kind of fascism in Stanford University? On what basis did you set up this coup in Stanford University?

    2. Would you dare say that such a coup has nothing to do with this lengthy and tough war against fascism crimes in which Stanford Authorities are besieged/terrorized/extorted by those fascist on side of Sebastian Thrun/Gabriele Scheler/ ZZZ/YYY/VVV and now even Angela Merkel? ___I as a victim have been simultaneously conspired/terrorized/retaliated by those fascists during these many years, as well___So, be careful when give us an answer;

    3. Also___Would you please tell us: What are the real identities of hidden judicial officers ZZZ/YYY/VVV? How could this Stanford Campus Atrocity Case remain unclarified at authorities for over 11 years and counting? How did ZZZ/YYY/VVV rule this criminal case behind the scene? Why are they hiding from a victim as I am during these many years, despite my challenges to clarify the case with CONFRONTATION, all the time? How could I see all materials they made up to accuse/curse me and to mess up this case?

    If you have confidence in what you are doing, please give us candid answers that can withstand public scrutiny, otherwise, you have destructed all the fame and credibilities People of Stanford University have built up through years since Leland and Jane Stanford established this school in 1891, in memo of their son Leland Jr. Stanford;

    The point is: how would you like the heritage of Leland, Jane and Leland Jr. Stanford to be remembered in history by our descendant generations in the future, rules of humanity or rules of fascism, Dear Mr. Isaac Stein of Search Committee Chair, and Mr. Steven A. Denning, Chair of Stanford University Board of Trustees? …

    • ___This case of anti-humanity crime now becomes an issue of the whole society and we need input from the whole society to overcome such anti-humanity crimes;

      <>

      …………………………………..

      ___Mr. Stein, When fascism crimes have involved, it is no longer a private matter, you can not make it “strictly confidential,” any more; you and this PRETENTIOUS Presidential Search Committee Chaired by you do not have the credibility to human society to start with, i.e. what you are doing is anti-humanity;

      This coup in Stanford University happened after a lengthy and tough war against fascism crimes in which Stanford Authorities have been constantly besieged/terrorized/extorted while President John Hennessy refuses to give in to the intimidation/terrorization from those fascists;

      But now, instead of pushing to clarify this decade long Stanford University Campus Atrocity Criminal Case first [Stanford Police Case Number: IR#04-111-0335; Victim: Peter Cao; Criminal Suspect: Gabriele Scheler] which had induced a series of retaliatory fascism crimes, and instead of finding justice to those fascists first, you rush to install a coup against Stanford Authority President John Hennessy; That’s an action of stabbing him in the back, the same to the criminal action from Gabriele Scheler when she physically stabbed me in the back on site of the crime scene on Stanford Campus back in 2004, as evidenced in one of those 7 photos in the case link above, isn’t it? That’s very much the same kind of “Thuggish” behavior as Gabriele Scheler did on my body back in 2004 as you thugs are doing today to Stanford Authority President John Hennessy by this PRETENTIOUS Presidential Search Committee as well as by Stanford Board of Trustees, Particularly chairs Mr. Issac Stein and Mr. Steven A. Denning, isn’t it?

      Under the influence of this decade long fascism criminal case, the actions from this PRETENTIOUS Presidential Search Committee in this Stanford coup is immoral, thuggish, criminal, fascism by nature and definitely anti-humanity;

      Again, Your actions have to withstand public scrutiny, because fascism crimes have involved into this case___Would you dare say no?___You don’t want to build up crimes one on top of another, do you?

      • ___Mr. Stein and this PRETENTIOUS Presidential Search Committee, you got to understand that there are outside rules and laws we all observe that supersedes whatever rules you enact;

        I am pretty sure that, when this decade long fascism criminal case clarified, Stanford People and the rest of the world will find out that it is you, Mr. Issac Stein of this PRETENTIOUS Presidential Search Committee and Mr. Steven A. Denning of Stanford Board of Trustees, who need to be replaced;

    • BTW, this PRETENTIOUS Presidential Search Committee and Stanford Board of Trustees, Particularly Mr. Isaac Stein of PRETENTIOUS Search Committee Chair, and Mr. Steven A. Denning, Chair of Stanford University Board of Trustees,

      ___Where were you, when I was assaulted and injured on Stanford Campus?

      ___Where were you, when I was conspired/terrorized/retaliated/endangered by those fascists during these many years?

      ___Where were you, when Stanford Authorities are being besieged/terrorized/extorted by those fascists during these many years?

      ___Where were you, when we have tough legal battles with those fascists in a currupted judicial system?

      ___Where were you, when I post public challenges on the web for public scrutiny, in fighting against fascism crimes, starting from so many years ago?

      ___and Where were you, when I challenge those fascists to clarify the case with CONFRONTATION, all the time?

      Now you cowards jump out PRETENDING nothing of these had happened, and rush to install a coup in Stanford University in alignment with interest of those fascists who had committed fascism crimes in Stanford University___Where is your sense of rightousness? Wouldn’t it be FAIR for the whole world of humanity to call you as ‘Immoral’, ‘Thuggish’, ‘Pretentious’, ‘Cowardice’, ‘Fascism’ and ‘Anti-humanity’?

      ___SHAMELESS is the exact word I am going to choose to attribute to this PRETENTIOUS Presidential Search Committee and Stanford Board of Trustees, Particularly Mr. Isaac Stein of PRETENTIOUS Search Committee Chair, and Mr. Steven A. Denning, Chair of Stanford University Board of Trustees, all of whom are supposedly consider themselves as ‘high intellectuals’ coming out of the world-class Stanford University;

      … Yeah, even ‘high intellectuals’ can be thugs, and thugs can be ‘high intellectuals’, as well;
