About Workshop Wednesdays

Workshop Wednesdays is a series of fortnightly Android workshops led by Google Developer Experts. They are 1-hour virtual meetings designed as true interactive workshops. Follow along with your development environment open, and there will be exercises and challenges along the way. Designed to be helpful to all skill levels, Workshop Wednesdays will nonetheless work better for those with at least some experience in Android/Kotlin.

The workshops don't generally follow any particular order or progression, so if you miss one there won't be any issue following next time.
