I strongly suggest looking at udacity's nanodegrees or coursera's certificates. There are great courses and nanodegrees created by google, facebook, and other employees from big companies where you'll get to build projects and learn best practices. Udacity recently released an android nanodegree co-created with Google. https://www.udacity.com/course/android-developer-nanodegree--nd801 https://www.udacity.com/course/android-developer-nanodegree-... There are great paid and free courses on those platforms that will take you from intro to programming to deeper topics such as Machine Learning, Robotics, etc.
