3,737 PointsAm I Ready For Android?
The recommended prerequisites for this course are: Java Basics, Java Objects and Java Data Structures. I have finished Java Basics and Java Objects but I have not started Java Data Structures. Will I be okay through this course? I am very anxious to start building for Android. Thanks in advance!

If you ever find yourself struggling with data structure you can always go back and check the skipped course. Even tho some data structures are taken naturally by some developers.
