Course Overview
Learn how to build from scratch your own apps based on the GitHub API, StackOverflow API and many more with Android
Have you ever wondered how to GET that server-located content in your app? Do you want to learn how to retrieve and visualize JSON data? Would you want to learn how to work with the Retrofit library in Android? Then this course is for you! Here we will start with a short introduction to the basic terminology - you will get aware of what HTTP, URL, API, RETROFIT, JSON, GET/POST/PUT and DELETE are. All of the explanations I will give you are easy to understand and follow. Then we will build 2 projects from scratch, working with 2 different APIs - the GitHub API and the StackOverflow API, as we are GETting their content. At the end of each section you will know how to continue exploring the API on your own and modify the data for your needs. Then we'll go further - I'll show you tens and hundreds more APis you will be able freely to work with. We'll pass through 3 different authorization processes - with the Instagram API, with the Gmail API and the Wordnik API. After you finish the course, you'll be able to handle numerous sources, hundreds of APIs and approaches. Are you ready to start?

SSurabhi .
I was a good match. It is a good course to learn retrofit. But you show code snippets that creates confusion sometimes. And in starting, you had shown the project structure in which GitHubUserEndPoints was a class but later it came out to be an interface. I got cofused. I refered to the Project Resourse you have provided and then I understood a lot. All over it is a good course.

No es muy pedagogico colocar el código en diapositivas y explicarlos. En programación es mucho mejor ir mostrando como seguir los pasos

The instructor is not typing the code and instead uses screenshots to explain the code, but this technique is also helpful and saves a lot of time making course sail to end faster and efficient. This course requires moderate level android understanding. At the end I highly recommend this course to you!!👌🤩

The course was good but was digressing too much into Android app development fundamentals like XML attributes . This made the course duration long and a bit boring . Also the trainer gives a lot of time to ordinary details
