I'm starting an Apps class in the Spring. Has anyone else out there taught an Apps class?

So you're teaching people how to make apps? Is that at a university or online?

In any case sounds cool.

Cool, I wish I had something like that when I was in highschool. We only had one real computer science class and it consisted of people building a comptuer with their own money in the first two weeks of the semester and then after that we basiclly just played Counter Strike for the rest of the semester. My reaction time got crazy good but that was about all I took away from the class. This sounds like something that kids can really use later in live. Nice!

Hi,

why do you not teach your class real Android App development?
