By Phyllis Schroeder


Do you have plans in becoming an Android application developer. If yes, then you are an enthusiast of creating a good application designed for mobile devices like the tablet computers and the smartphones. You might even know that android has a software development kit that makes the development of these apps very easy and effective.

In learning the software development, it is never an easy process like clapping your hands. Most of the keen learners often enroll themselves for android training classes so they could get a formal training. In knowing more about these classes, here are its pros and cons.

One of the greatest advantages in enrolling yourself in formal classroom training is that you get a chance to work with a very qualified and experienced developer. Developing an app is a mixture of science and creativity. Any experienced instructor can guide you in creating and developing your android development style. They can even help you in correcting the mistakes that you made, especially if you are a starter.

A formal classroom setting can keep you focused on the training schedule. Also, it creates an environment which encourages you to learn more in developing your app. This also requires you to prepare for the class in every meeting and in every lecture.

If you got an instructor that is good for you, you already know to yourself you will be affected by him positively. You would not even notice that you are already motivated by him through making good performances in your class activities. If you are performing well, the trainer will commend you for a job well done. If you fail, the trainer will encourage you to do better. If you have passed the lessons, you will get your certification for the training.

Talking about disadvantages, the first on the list it is costly. This is because you need to pay for you tuition to be taught by a very good instructor. Unlike with self study, you only have to gather the materials that you searched which you think would help you learn.

Another disadvantage would be the pace of learning. With an instructor, you could never manage a time to master everything because all of you need to quickly get through each lesson. There are possibilities that you cannot grasp a particular concept that you need to learn. Unlike with the self learning, you could have all the time you like in mastering that concept.

You will only focus on the general concept of application development and not on a certain area. Inside the class, the trainers follow a certain guidelines for the lessons to be tackled. You cannot focus on that area that you are good at and pursue it right then and now. It is just totally different with self study.

Android in a new exciting platform in this generation and if you really dedicate yourself to learn, then it will be easy for you to grasp it. Understanding the difference between classroom training and self learning is really important. This is because you can consider all of the things mentioned above in getting the best way in order for you to learn the software.
