“One of the best courses I have attended. We need more courses from Karim. “
“The instructor was highly knowledgeable about the subject matter and yet presented it in varying levels of difficulty to suit the needs of all participants. The subject was also highly relevant to my work domain and I learnt a lot of useful ideas and tricks from the course work. In particular, the handson exercises gave a better understanding and confidence over the subject. Karim is an excellent instructor and can share his knowledge in a very appealing and convincing way! “
“The course covered a great deal of material, there was a wide dichotomy of student knowledge, the instructor did a good job of keeping everone interested but not good too fast or too slow. The hands on exercises were good. “
“Great knowledge and worth every penny. Awesome class, just a fine hose of info. Would be nice to have a second class for other info. Great job!! “

I can deal with hard, as long as it is possible. 🙂 ” — J.S.
“Embedded Android Class, hands on the source from STX to ETX. At the end only one thing remains: “Use the Source Luke” ” — K.-A.P.
“Karim’s engaging presentation style and knowledge of the Android Operating System (could he be the most knowledgeable person on the AOSP outside of Google?!) made this class extremely useful and informative both in technical information and practical, hands-on experience. I highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Android OS or is looking to use/evaluate it for a project. ” — J.O.

“Karim knows this stuff inside-out and is able to explain things quickly and allow the class to learn in a variety of ways ~ verbal, visual, hands-on. “
“The embedded Android training session by Opersys covered all the relevant parts of the Android framework as well as the Linux kernel that it runs on. The training provided was immediately beneficial to our internal embedded Android project. “
“I’m sure this class saved me countless hours of source hunting and fruitless searches on the web regarding topics that are under or non-documented. “
“Taught by an extremely knowledgable instructor, this course will give you everything you need to port Android to your device. “
“If you want to start developping under the hood of the Android OS, this course delivers what you need in a one-week hands-on training. “
“Great course to help you dig into Android and its concepts “
“A nice, well-documented overview of the internals of an amazing framework
Nevertheless, the system lacks some documentation, hence we need this
Deep-dive into the vast framework
Reverse, bottom-up approach
Of the Linux-based framework
In a quite fast-paced walkthrough
Definitely worth every second “
“Value for money!! 😉 “
“Great class! It combined broad overviews followed by the kind of detail needed to understand what is going on under the covers. “
“Although Android is Linux, it is Linux with considerable kernel modifications, and a completely different system administration and toolset; so great are the differences that it feels unfamiliar to every experienced Linux developer.
Karim provides a well organized presentation of the crucial concepts, and enables students to gain a full appreciation of not only how the Android architecture works, but also why it works that way.
In 22 years of professional software development, this has easily been the most valuable training session I’ve attended. “
“One of the best embedded development classes I have participated in. “
“I learned both bredth and depth during the course, an impressive accomplishment. Exceeded my expectations. “
“Extremely helpful in both providing a general overview and understanding, as well as get into details most relevant to us. “
“I’ve been working on Android for 4 months and I think I learned more about the system in these five days than those foru months! “
“While this class won’t make you an instant expert in the Android AOSP, it is a great way to learn basic structure of the AOSP code-base, and get a solid grounding in the steps required to make new hardware functionality available to higher levels of the Android stack, up to and including the application level. “
“Android is so big that it is easy to get lost in it. I now have been given directions so that I can find my way no matter where I go in it. “
“This is a great class. Every serious embedded system engineer should take it! “
“I am now very well equipped to add Android support to my company’s SoCs. “
“Karim is the Wayne Gretzky of embedded Android. His embedded Android training far surpassed my expectations. It gave me a more solid understanding of Android in one week than I was able to learn on my own in several months. This directly translates to a huge boost in productivity and efficiency, which will help my team deliver our embedded Android solution on time. ” — B.A.
“Karim can light fire by rubbing two ice cubes together. “
“Karim is one of the few instructors that has a deep understanding of the entire Android stack. I highly recommend this course for any engineers who work on embedded Android projects. “

First, we believe that the value of a class is derived from providing instructors recognised as leading experts in their field, not the courseware. Our instructors are not only recognised for their technical achievements, but they are active public speakers at international conferences and forums with an exceptional ability and passion for sharing their knowledge. Our instructors’ value is especially prized during our class’ hands-on sessions, which occupy more than half of class time, since they are able to pull on their vast experience in assisting attendees in isolating the source of issues they encounter and explaining the underlying theory and wider context pertaining to that topic.
Second, we think it’s great for past students to continue having access to the latest version of the courseware they used. Whether it be for keeping up-to-date or explore new material, future versions of our class material will always be available to you.
Third, our company was built on and lives in the open source ecosystem. Sharing is fundamental to what we do every day.
We, of course, welcome any comments or updates you may have on our courseware. Please send feedback!
