Great article, can you help me with one question, is the nanodegree content updated? In which version of android are the exercises?

I'm not sure about that. I remember a statement by one of the Udacity guys in the official forum that some time the course will likely be updated to cover Kotlin instead of Java, because some people "complained" that the technology stack is not up-to-date anymore. But I don't think, they actually updated anything, yet.
Here are the GitHub repos to some of the sub-projects' starter code. They use compileSdkVersion 25 or 27 and last commits were quite some time ago.

Hope that helps you.

Thanks, one last question, did you complete the entire nanodegree in 3 months(Capstone project included)?

Yes, that's totally doable, at least if you already have some basic programming or even Android experience.
