Stefan Buttigieg , you were on the ball with the link! I just came in here to let you all know and post it. :)

Sorry again for the delay...we had a lot of people chipping in to get this out the door today. I'm going to be spot checking things tonight, but everything should be in order. If you come across any issues, post it here in the Forum and I'll be watching.

I really hope you all enjoy it and get something out of it. I am so glad it's finally available!

Sorry Ben Jakuben for being too fast with sharing the link haha :) I had been waiting for this all day long!

Will start watching the videos. The issue that I noticed for now, is the image in the header for the main page of the course is not showing up. Looks as if there is some broken link.

Me too! I'm so happy to be publishing it--the team is putting the finishing touches on a few videos and code challenges now. We'll publish tomorrow as soon as it's ready and been given a once-over.

Thanks for your patience as the date moved on this, and here's hoping it is fun and informative! :confetti_ball: Lots more in the works, too!

I honestly have been waiting for this project for a long time haha!Was a bit disappointed with the subsequent postponing but I understand the need for excellent execution and the immense work involved in creating the videos.

Ben Jakuben you are giving us something to look forward to ? Awesome haha!

What have you finally decided on using as the IDE? It would be great to set up for tomorrows launch! Here in Poland it's 11pm.

Oh yeah, I'm using Eclipse in the videos, but if you want to follow along with Android Studio then you should be able to after getting started with the Android Studio stage in my Android Tools project.

We usually like to publish early in the day east coast (US) time, but we're still working on a few final changes. Which means it's still a few hours away. Lots of people jumped in to help finish this on time (this new "on time"), so thank goodness we have such a supportive team!

GO Team Treehouse!!!!!

We will support you guys by being patient. Have a nice day and thank you for keeping us updated Ben Jakuben !

Regards to Android Studio, completed that stage already but somehow there seems to be this discrepancy between the two platforms especially when creating new projects, for example, more fragments were added in Android Studio.

But maybe with this course I would get a better outlook at how to make the transition. Very much looking forward! Learning at Treehouse has been exceptional!

I'm so freking exited! Does anyone know when it will be published at the day? Appreciate your hard work! <3

Lets see. It would be nice if we see the connection to the project if we also built it in IOS as well

It's already for iOS, Jonathan McCottry

I know I completed it on IOS. I am talking about the connection on the parse back end to the same app that was built for ios Lars Fredrik S. Onsager

We use the exact same data structure, so all you should need to do is use your existing Parse ID and app key. :)

You are the man Ben Jakuben !!!

Somehow had the gut feeling that it would be that easy :D! Parse rocks lol :D !
