Students started with an empty Android project and programmed along with us as they learned the basics to Android and RESTFul web services (powered by Parse). Together we built a chat client because it allowed students to see in real time the product of all their work coming together. Best of all, the whole class was on the same chat thread and had their own Pokemon avatars. This was a great way to introduce students to Android in a fun interactive way.

This application was developed as a means to teach students about building their first Android application in a 4 hour timespan. If you are interested in teaching a similar course, please reach out to either one of us for our course materials. This application aims to teach students about:
- RESTFul web services
- Android basics
- Coding conventions
Reach out to us! We would be glad to help you get started.
