Android Application Design

In a world where change is incessant, professionals must be up to date. That is why TECH, offers you programs such as this Postgraduate Diploma in Android Application Design. To take your career to the next level" 

With the advent of 5G communications and the widespread presence of mobile devices and connected elements, Android is undoubtedly one of the key elements of the current technological ecosystem. Gradually we are reaching levels of processing and speed far superior to those previously achieved, which drives the creation of new and spectacular applications such as Virtual and Augmented Reality where Android is beginning to demonstrate its versatility.

Therefore, it is necessary to go deeper into the structural elements that make up an Android architecture and how they are related in order to understand how to build and program it. These considerations must be taken into account when designing new systems and making the most of their capabilities in all areas where today they have become essential elements.

On the other hand, good development should focus on how the product looks on different devices to show a homogeneous, familiar appearance and take advantage of the particularities of each device. These particularities may involve different resolutions, different screen sizes or increased resource availability. Adopting a responsive design is not optional; it is essential to adapt to the nature of the device. In addition to the fragmentation in terms of terminals and the large audience of the platform, the user experience must be adapted.

In this sense, this Postgraduate Diploma in Android Application Design, combines all the necessary knowledge to develop within this operating system and develop good projects that achieve success within the universe of options that exist. For this reason, a module is dedicated to the development of advanced knowledge on how to create, design and analyze what experience users will have on the way to conversion, with the most advanced tools and techniques and specific methodologies such as Design Thinking that allow working in a new, more dynamic and user-centered environment.
