Sure, it seemed like the whole world was buzzing for a hot minute around the release of the iPhone X and iOS 11 — but don't sleep on Android. Not only is the latest Google Pixel making significant waves, but it's actually Android that's the world's most popular mobile platform.

Taking that into consideration, now's as good a time as any to pick up some Android programming skills. With The Complete Android Developer Course - Build 14 Apps, you'll learn to develop for Android M, Google's most recent release of the platform. 

Whether you're looking to beef up your resume for a promotion, land a new job, make some side cash, or just learn a new hobby, this course shows you how to make real apps like Uber and Instagram. Best of all, the lessons are all project-based — meaning you get hands-on experience with the same techniques and tools you'd be using to create new apps independently. 

The course includes 17 sections, more than 232 lectures, and 31.5 hours of content, showing you how to develop an app from start to finish. Whether you're learning to submit your creation to Google Play, marketing it via Google Ads, or learning how to leverage the latest Android M features like App Permissions and Android Pay, this course is full of valuable lessons for the budding mobile entrepreneur.

Leah Stodart is a Philadelphia-based Senior Shopping Reporter at Mashable where she covers essential home tech like vacuums and TVs as well as sustainable swaps and travel. Her ever-growing experience in these categories comes in clutch when making recommendations on how to spend your money during shopping holidays like Black Friday, which Leah has been covering for Mashable since 2017.

The robot vacuum beat in particular has cemented itself as Leah's main ~thing~ across the past few years. Since 2019, her expertise has been perpetually bolstered by the meticulous eye she keeps on robot vacuum deals and new releases, but more importantly, her hands-on experience with more than 25 robot vacuums tested in her own home. (This number has probably gone up by the time you're reading this.) That at-home testing is standardized through Mashable's robot testing guide — a granular scoring rubric for assessing all aspects of owning and using a robot vacuum on the daily — that Leah created herself.
