1000 Scholarships for the Associate Android Developer Fast Track

At I/O this year, the Google Developers team announced the Associate Android Developer Certification. Then Udacity and Google immediately got to work developing new educational content that would equip developers with the competencies evaluated in that certification. We launched the Associate Android Developer Fast Track last week, to coincide with this scholarship announcement. It includes a completely overhauled Developing Android Apps course, with brand-new content covering the essential fundamentals you’ll need as a professional Android developer. (Note: to be eligible for the Associate Android Developer Fast Track scholarship, you’ll need 1-2 years experience developing in Java or another object-oriented programming language).
