Developing Android Apps - Android Fundamentals - completed!!

Yes!   I successfully completed the Developing Android Apps - Android Fundamentals class.   It was taught by a skilled group of Android folks, and hosted by the Udacity system.

I found it to be a real challenge and I learned a lot.   Especially useful were the architecture and details about Content Providers as integrated with SQlite.   The unit test system was also introduced to test the database implementation as the class iterated the database and Content Provider design.

Finally I leveraged material in the Advanced course to bring in the RecyclerView and Material Design details for my Popular Movies final project.

Thumbs way up for this course!!

Cheers, Jim Andreas
