Andrej organizes the Miami Lean Startup Circle and the South Florida Android Developers. He is currently busy teaching Android, writing a book on applying Lean to Mobile, and running the New Frontier Nomads, a mobile development company focused on helping startups launch amazing mobile experiences.

Andrej has been travelling the country teaching a 5-day, hands-on Android development class to both the general public, as well as clients such as Motorola Solutions. Here is what some of the students had to say:

"...an awesome initial dive into Android programming."

"very good way to quickly learn how to develop android apps and the
development environment..."

"What ever your question it will be answered"

"Really enjoyed it. The content presented was good and well
structured. It also lasted the perfect amount of time."

"GREAT workshop. Thanks again Andrej. I learned a lot, and I still
can't thank you enough."

"Nice introduction to android development."

"It was GREAT to have a workshop where I learned everything. VERY
professional location great teacher of course, and amazing."

"Great session. Anyone new to Android development will find this a
useful jump start to getting their apps out there."

"Excellent knowledge transfer"

"Good beginner application programming course."

"This class is excellent...Andrej is an EXCELLENT instructor who is
very knowledgable in programming languages and had answers to ALL our
questions in the class (there's not one thing that he didn't know).
He's also very courteous, patient, and respectful to answer all the
students' questions. This class could not be any better and the lesson
couldn't be any clearer. He had exceed all my expectations."

"I have never programmed in Android before, and this course gave me
the knowledge and tools needed to go forth and develop Android
applications. The pacing of the class was great, and the instructor
made sure that everyone was "caught up" with the in-class work before
moving on. He was also very willing to sit down with the student to
troubleshoot problems in their code. He is very knowledgeable and was
able to answer the questions asked. If he didn't know the answers
off-hand, he took time to look up and provide the answer at a later
time. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the class and would consider
attending another one in the future."

"Good stuff and well presented. I'm a rookie and despite falling
behind on a few occasions,I was easily able to catch up with
assistance from Andrej. I was especially impressed with the way the
class made use of realworld services during each session, hands on
development using actual servers made a big difference for me."

"Enjoyed the class very much. Got to learn a lot in 3 days. The
example app was a interesting way to go through the training. Andrej
was helpful and made the class interesting."

"I learned a lot about Android programming fundamentals from the
class. The class was well paced and aptly structured to understand the
various components of Android. Instructor was well versed with the
topics covered and also answered most of the doubts clearly."

"The instructor was very knowledgeable, and it was apparent that he
had of lot of experience with Android. He was very responsive to
questions and tailored the topics and pace of the course to suit the
group."

"Instructor explained topics in easy and pleasant way. Highly I will
recommend this instructor."

"the course went well and I feel it was well paced even though I was
extremely rusty with programming."

"Instructor was great at dealing with the class with different JAVA skill sets."

"I have learned a lot from this class"

"Class was excellent"
