| Why Develop for the Android? |
Mobile application store downloads are forecast to reach 17.7 billion downloads in 2011 and 185 billion by the end of 2014. Garner (Gartner), Inc., one of the the world's leading information technology research and advisory companies, also estimates that worldwide mobile application store revenue is projected to surpass $15.1 billion in 2011, a 190 percent increase from a 2010 revenue of $5.2 billion. With such a promising future in the mobile apps sector, more and more developers will surely jump on the bandwagon. But with the myriad of products out there, which is the most lucrative for software developers? According to many experts, Android, the Google-backed platform, stands out. Canalys, a company delivering high-quality analysis and advice to the world's leading technology vendors, estimates that an already rapidly growing Android will continue to grow at more than twice the rate of its major competitors in 2011. It already claims a 25% share of the worldwide smart phone market and is now the most-popular smartphone operating system in the world. According to Don Reisinger, there are 10 reasons that Android has obtained the new leading smart phone status, four of which are listed below. - Each version gets better - With the release of Android 2.1 and Android 2.2, consumers started receiving more value from the operating system and will derive even more quality with the release of Android 30.
- The phones are outstanding - The Motorola Droid X features a 4.3-inch display, an outstanding touch-screen, and greater multimedia content than any other device on the market. The HTC Evo, Samsung Galaxy S smartphones and so many other Android products appeal to consumers. All these phones are helping to drive the platform's growth.
- Multi-carrier support exists - Android runs on a multitude of devices operating on all U.S. carrier networks. The result is more opportunity for consumers to pick an Android device.
- They have outstanding marketing - Motorola understands how to market products, and those efforts have helped it increase sales. The same can be said for Google. Its own advertising ideas have helped bring Android to the public consciousness.
As your training vendor, we want you to capitalize on the apps writing portion of this market, because the Android is now the market leader. Developing apps for an Android involves using Java as the development language, Eclipse as the Development Environment, and Linux as the underlying Operating System. We offer courses in all of these areas for those new to programming. For existing developers, the only learning curve is the Android SDK, which is simply a new API for Java. For these developers, we offer introductory and advanced Android training, as well as one week boot camps. You can view descriptions of these courses, and our schedule of Android classes can be found here. REGISTER NOW for our 3-day Introduction to Android course on March 28. Or, take our 1-day Overview of Android on February 21 (Washington's Birthday). If you spend $500 for the 1-day Android class in February and then decide to enroll in our 3-day Introduction to Android course, you will receive a $500 credit on the 3-day course.* Don't wait. Jump in on this market, while it is hot!

| Increase Productivity with Python |
According to official Python Website, python.org, Python is described as a programming language that allows one to work more quickly and integrate systems more effectively. Python users will see almost immediate gains in productivity and lower maintenance costs. In many locales, there is a standard debate over whether to use Perl or Python as the scripting language of choice. I have never liked the term 'scripting,' since it has a negative connotation (as if these languages can't play with the big boys like C, C++, and Java). As a Perl programmer for many years (and now as a Python programmer), I must admit that Python is just a bit easier to use. I love how easy it is to treat functions as though they are data. That is, it is easy to pass them to functions, pass them back from functions, and even use them as hash keys. Below, I have shown an example of the latter. $ fcat funs.py #!/usr/bin/python def add(): print("add") def delete(): print("delete") def display(): print("display") def terminate(): exit() map = {1:add, 2:delete, 3:display, 4:terminate} while True: for index, fun in map.items(): print(index, fun.__name__) key=int(input("Make selection: ")) if key in map.keys(): map[key]() else: print("illegal selection") The current Python world is divided into two versions, Python 2.x and Python 3.x. Developers will have to choose the one to use based on a variety of factors. The Python folks tell us that Python 2.x is the status quo and Python 3.x is the "shiny new thing." For those interested in learning Python, we currently have a full 4-day Introduction to Python 3.0 course scheduled on March 15. We are also offering a one-day overview of Python on February 21 (Washington's Birthday). If you spend $500 for the 1-day Python class in February and then decide to enroll in our 4-day Introduction to Python 3.0 course in March, you will receive a $500 credit on the 4-day course.*So, come and check out this powerful and versatile language. REGISTER NOW. Michael Saltzman is the founder and CTO of /training/etc. In addition to having authored two Perl books, he has written many /training/etc courses and provides training in technical areas.
