Android Developer

I try to build very simple application. Kind of memory game that helps you remember faces.

The problem I'm getting now is that I'm setting delay in an other thread (wait for image change) but the change happens almost instantly.



Maybe at the first place I should get resources in such a clumsy way? First impression from Android Development: everything is organised in a standard way. Convention over configuration!

Google Advertising Fundamentals Exam

As an exam was taken in a secure browser I was unable to perform the traditional screenshot:


Thanks to Google Engage for Agencies I have received a voucher and passed my first fundamental exam!

UPDATE: The fundamentals part was slightly easier so I decided to take the advanced part straight away. Here are the results:


And here goes the actual certificate:


Just wondering if a customer can search me in an online database now? Yes, they can. Just go to: google.starttest.com then Search for Qualified Individuals:

Stanford AI class

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Syllabus:

(this a still from a movie)

It will be a great opportunity to review my knowledge. I had term-long (usually 15h + 15h of lectures and laboratories) courses on each of specified topics. Just refer to my transcript of records.

Repetition is the mother of skill. I haven't found practical day-to-day application of all my courses. This time I'm gonna change it, thanks to London Hackspace and incredible inventor Jan Kolano I'm staying in touch with.

This book may be helpful:
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach
Amazon: £49.99 or $59.98 (nowadays you need to be very careful where to buy from)
