9/26/2013 23:20:464This training would be best suited for a two week cadence.Printed Material needs to be revised, there are some discrepancies between what the material states and the actual files/directories of the system.

9/26/2013 23:33:492I would have liked the course to be longer so we could review the topics to a more advanced level.Given that the programming background of the participants was very different, we were not able to do all the code by ourselves. It'd be nice to have prework not only for Linux and vi, but also on C/Java programming for Android so we can then write the code within the class.5The slides provide an overview but do help because they have links and the important information that you can later investigate to learn more details.5This is basically my first Android course so everything was new to me. Chris was able to explain lots of details regardless of my lack of knowledge on the topic.45Chris had some trouble because his desk was facing the audience and not the projected image. I would suggest he would request for a desk that faces the projection.5551At the present time my job does not include doing any Android activities. But I will use it in future projects.65Android programming.4The practical labs.I felt that some of the topics deserved more time and explanation but due to time restrictions we had to skip them or review them very fast.Not applicable - My management made the decisionFree Electrons chosen by my managementBoard Support Package development: make Linux / Android support your new hardware, Build environment deployment and support, Investigating and fixing bugsYes, he spent time with each of us explaining and answering our questions.54This is where we could actually practice what we were learning. Unfortunately we had to cheat with the last labs and did not make the code ourselves due to time/knowledge restrictions.Given that this was my first Android experience (besides playing Angry Birds of course!) I found some of the labs difficult to complete, but I would say that for a person that has a little bit more experience they would be just fine.33We ran out of time to complete the practical labs.From less than 100 km / 60 miles

9/26/2013 23:35:2342the examples were not very usefull and very confusing.. I would suggest to put instructions for dummies.. example:

step 1 ==> go to the device directory. Example:
~/felabs/android/source/android/device/linaro/beagleboard
step 2: ==> create Android.mk
example:
etc...

Due to the this is too much material to be covered in 4 days, there is not really time to be experts on Android and it is be very hard to remember everything... so my suggestion is to have full solutions just read to COPY AND PASTE to speed up the solution and be useful for future reference. At this point, I don't think I would be able to recreate all of this from scratch without teacher assistance.

9/26/2013 23:40:184Maybe more time would be perfectFor my type of job, i think the course should focus more in OS architecture.3The manual should be a backup for the knowledge we learn and it do not follow what we see exaclty in the course, so that is a disavantage if we want to check it later for more home practice.

9/26/2013 23:50:263Regarding the amount of material to review and to learn from, I think 4 days is a short time. However, I understand that it is complicated to have a team of people away from their position duties for many days. However, I think this course could be set for 5 days instead of 4. I wish I had learn more, not because of lack of the material but because of time5I think it will become more useful in the following days when I have time to read all the material as during the course, it was mostly the instructors wording what I was getting. This is not in detriment but I think it is a complement... Actually, the material is a complement to the instructor's knowledge and ability to transmit that knowledge.4it was more than enough to answer my questions so, for me, it is good. 5As I stated in a comment above, the instructors skills are a complement to the written material and at least half of the value of this training. 5Very good other than the cables that were laying loosely on the floor. This issue was addressed until the last day. It would have been nice to have it addressed before. 554A lot and I hope to learn more. 4This is a baseline. Obviously I am aware that is much more to develop and tailor to the daily job. 6Thank you!!5I appreciate the instructor's sense of humor. It helps to keep dynamic the environment during the lectures. However, I would appreciate more frequent changes in his voice tone or doing something to refresh the environment. There was a time it got tiring to hear the same voice tone and in consequence, it was easier to loose the attention. 4How to build the kernel and Android and, knowing about the philosophy of Android programming. None particularly. Not applicable - My management made the decisionFree Electrons chosen by my managementPower management, Investigating and fixing bugsThanks again!Very handy. And what I liked more is that he was resourceful to get alternative solutions when we got stuck in performing the labs. 54As you may know, this course intention is to apply to the specific job we have in the company. I think it is complicated to make a course 100% useful for the specific needs of a company such like this. Therefore, I think have of the usefulness of the course depends also in how we, students, are able to integrate it in real job duties. In the overall I am quite satisfied in the way I can integrate it in my job. I think they had been more difficult if we hadn't received the instructor's help and shortcuts provided. To do it by myself I would have needed more time. Absolutely!33YesFrom less than 100 km / 60 miles
