Did anyone who learnt Android from treehouse Created a full fledge app at the end of the course?

Hello Mohsin,

Great question! Yes, I did continue creating full apps after the Track but I'm not new to software development, so my answer is probably not very helpful in that regard.

However, In my opinion, the Android Track is certainly more than enough for someone with an idea to build an App Store ready app after completing the Track.

I'd also like to share just a few words of advice. Don't get too caught up in learning every aspect of any kind of development upfront. Get the big picture with the courses here on Treehouse, work on forming a great idea, then develop with what you know and learn what you don't on the way. Basically, be agile.

Your idea is more important than knowing everything there is to know about a certain technology. It's easy to get caught in paralysis of analysis.

I hope this helps!

Wise words :)

Also, as for the question, after I have completed the Ribbit app, I'm going to move on to making my own apps as well. Should help me keep in the loop and remember how to do everything (I have one of them memories where you learn something and you're great at it for a week and then, after that, you completely forget how to do it. Not very good in Maths tests...) I found that browsing these forums and helping people out helped me to keep knowledgeable about these things. I might forget how to answer the question so, I take a look at my code, see how I did it and then help people out from there. I'd highly recommend it!
