Google will launch a boot camp, in partnership with computer programming school General Assembly, that is designed to boost the number of Android developers in the tech ecosystem, General Assembly announced today.
"Android is growing, and because there aren’t nearly enough developers trained for that system, it's causing a bottleneck for the platform," said General Assembly co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Jake Schwartz. Tuition for the 12-week course in Android development, which was designed by Google's developer training team, is $13,500. It is the first time Google has co-developed in-person classroom training for one of its products, Schwartz said.
