Master CI/CD for Android Developers

🎓 Master CI/CD for Android Developers: Course Description

🚀 What you will learn in this course?

In this comprehensive course, you will delve into the fundamentals of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD), and apply these essential practices to your Android app development process. Master CI/CD for Android Developers is designed to elevate your career potential in 2019 and beyond, as more and more companies are adopting these methodologies as a standard.

🔍 What is Continuous Integration (CI)?

Continuous Integration (CI) is the practice of developers integrating their code changes into a shared mainline several times a day. This approach minimizes conflicts and bugs, reduces the time needed for regression testing, and fosters a culture of quality improvement. By integrating often, developers ensure that all code contributions are in sync with the main code base, leading to a more stable application and a smoother development process.

📈 What is Continuous Delivery or Deployment (CD)?

Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD) takes CI further by ensuring that new changes can be released to clients in a more sustainable, automated manner. With CD, you can deploy new versions of your app with the click of a button, ensuring that your software is always up-to-date and delivering value to users continuously.

🧰 CI/CD Concepts

This course will cover the key topics essential for implementing a robust CI/CD pipeline:

• Continuous Integration
• Continuous Delivery
• App Center
• GitHub Pull Requests
• Branch Protection
• UI Tests
• App Diagnostics
• App Analytics

🎯 What will you learn?

Through this course, you will:

• Track errors and crashes in your apps to ensure a smooth user experience.
• Track any event triggered within your apps, giving you insights into how users interact with your app.
• Apply complete CI/CD flows in your app development process, streamlining your workflow.
