Android Instagram Clone Course

A step-by-step guide to build your own Instagram Clone

Watch it here: Instagram Clone Course

The course outline is still not "set in stone." I'll be building it in modules so you can have check points if you want to take a break and come back to it in the future. At this point I'm guessing there will be 30-50 videos.

We'll start by building almost the entire interface and then move onto the back-end.

The back-end will be almost 100% Firebase as that will make it simply for the purposes of this course.

If this were a real production app I would probably use:

  • Firebase for user management and authentication
  • Amazon Web Services to store images and videos
  • A server (website) SQL database for saving all other data. Take a look here for an outline of what the database would roughly look like if you did that. (SQLite is probably fine)

That would require a TON more code. Setting up the server/website alone would probably be another 20 videos or so. So to keep things simple and condensed I will just use Firebase for everything. After all this is an Android Course, not a web development course.
