2 simple questions

1) I am at the basic plan and i see that android course is 38 hours long, but when i calculate each sub-course length it's way shorter than 38 hours. Am i missing out the courses if i am on basic plan?? What else can i get in pro plan ?

2) What does this mean 'layout_alignParentLeft = "true"' does this mean i am aligning a button relative to the screen or relative to other elements ? ??

1) The course and track time includes a rough estimate for the quizzes and challenges and can be padded out a bit for those.

2) With Android layouts you can nest layouts inside other layouts and you can position them on the screen just like an ordinary view. 'layout_alignParentLeft' will align to the layout the View is inside of.

It's roughly complete. There were two new courses added in the past week or two on Threads and Services and Fragments . There are also workshops that aren't in the track. You can see the full list of available courses and workshops in the Library

Also two courses were retired recently because they were about hooking up an app to a backend server/webservice and required Parse.com as the backend to the app. That service is shutting down and no longer taking new signups, so the courses can't be completed as they are. Hopefully we can see replacements with a different backend service soon.
