Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications. The Android SDK provides the tools and APIs necessary to begin developing applications on the Android platform using the Java programming language.

Code Camp is a learning and hacking experience. The code camp approach can be defined as a collaborative learning setting that aims to promote profession-oriented skills.

Programming experience.

Android is Java framework, so basic Java knowledge and experience is recommended for coding. If you have solid practice on other object oriented languages, it is quite feasible to learn java during course as well.

Basic on Graphical User Interface programming is recommended as well.

Yes. During code camp week we will brainstorm a software idea, design it and code it. Getting good ideas might sometimes be hard and thinking about different ideas before code camp makes it faster to get into coding part.

Also introduce to Android framework ⇒ http://codecamp.fi/doku.php/android/start

You are free to go exam, but code camp in intensive course and idea is to focus coding during the well, so it is recommended you prepare to exam before the code camp week.
