Description

Description
I just explored the Java section of the course material and Found that the Video Lecture for building a simple flashlight app was 14 years old and Android Studio and other features are so deprecated that any beginner will lose hope at first sight.
Improvements Required
Addition of updated resources to each section or at least to the sections where the resources are outdated.
