Head First Android Development

 

Who is this book for?

If you can answer "yes" to all of these:

1. Do you already know how to program in Java?

2. Do you want to master Android app development, create the next big thing in software, make a small fortune, and retire to your own private island?

3. Do you prefer actually doing things and applying the stuff you learn over listening to someone in a lecture rattle on for hours on end?

this book is for you.

Who should probably back away from this book?

If you can answer "yes" to any of these:

1. Are you looking for a quick introduction or reference book to developing Android apps? 

2. Would you rather have your toenails pulled out by 15 screaming monkeys than learn something new? Do you believe an Android book should cover everything, especially all the obscure stuff you'll never use, and if it bores the reader to tears in the process, then so much the better?

this book is not for you.
