Android Nanodegree
At the beginning I joined the course mainly for the code review, after that anyway I knew about the career center and webcasts for further knowledge in Android and job hunting, where you will have reviewers too for your LinkedIn and Github profiles and your resume if you desire. The course is impressive and still the lessons are updating and increasing. And as an Android developer it definitely related to the market requirements not just another educational course. -

Worth doing
I'm close to completing the nanodegree. It's early days and I think there need to be some improvements in some areas eg. better support from staff/tutors if you have a coding problem. However, I think some parts of the course are very good eg. help with CV/resume and LinkedIn profile, and overall the course is definitely worth doing. -
Great experience
This course teaches you things that you don't find in tutorials and books i.e. AsyncTaskLoaders wrapped inside Loaders for handling rotation. It gives also teaches you how to play with data bindings, widgets, firebase, gradle and material design. The overall experience was great. -
