This book is a wonderful introduction to Android. It gets you writing a program right from the beginning and we're not talking about hello world stuff. Most new to Android start writing something standalone, something business card like. The Yamba app, that the book takes you through, is a full fledged app that interacts with remote servers all written at a pace that beginner can understand. In addition to that.
one of the greatest assets of this book, is that if you go to Marakana.com you'll find video tutorials that follow the examples. I should mention that the video tutorials are a Android Bootcamp directed by the author to a live audience so they are not necessarily directed toward a video audience. Nonetheless the videos help cement the concepts in your brain. I enjoyed this book and have moved on. I currently have 13 apps on the market and I started with this book only 8 months ago. This comes highly recommended!!!
