The Android Funadementals course consists of videos from Google Developer advocates, along with quizzes and forums that take students through the process of building an app.
Additionally, the course looks at best practices of the Android mobile operating system and of mobile development in general.
Google has always been keen to keep parity across all its apps, especially given the repeated critisicm it has received for version fragmentation.
The "Holo" design introduced in Android 3.0 Honeycomb is the principal design guideline for developers. Google's offer of free training represents an opportunity for the company to get developers writing apps the way it wants them written from the ground up.
