Este curso le da la oportunidad de demostrar las habilidades que ha adquirido a lo largo del programa de Certificado Profesional de Desarrollador Android. Para ello, desarrollará una aplicación Android para pedir comida en el restaurante Little Lemon. En otras palabras, creará una solución a un problema del mundo real.

En este punto del programa, ha adquirido todas las habilidades que necesita para completar con éxito este proyecto. Sin embargo, es posible que necesite refrescar algunas nociones de los cursos anteriores del programa. Por esta razón, en cada módulo de este curso se hará breve recapitulación de los contenidos pertinentes de los cursos anteriores en el programa. Y no se preocupe, también habrá enlaces para que pueda revisar el contenido con más detalle si es necesario. De esta manera, se le guiará a través del proceso de construcción de la aplicación de pedidos de comida Little Lemon que le permitirá dar cuenta de sus habilidades de desarrollo de Android.

Al final del curso, será capaz de:

- Configurar una aplicación Jetpack Compose

- Confirmar un proyecto en un repositorio Git

- Planificar la interfaz de usuario y la experiencia de usuario de una aplicación

- Establecer una jerarquía de navegación entre las pantallas de la aplicación

- Crear un flujo de incorporación de usuarios

- Desarrollar una interfaz de usuario de menú de comida

Al finalizar el proyecto final, tendrá una aplicación móvil interactiva que podrá compartir con los reclutadores e impresionar a posibles empleadores.

Este es un curso avanzado, dirigido a estudiantes con experiencia en el desarrollo de aplicaciones Android. Además, ¡siempre ayuda tener una actitud proactiva!
