For those who work best in educational scenarios, like training courses, this will be perfect. It gave me all the skills I needed to get a prototype app built with no previous Android knowledge at all. Beware: it assumes you know Java well. If you know another OO language and are comfortable with things like interfaces, it will not be too difficult.

My one criticism is that it is very badly formatted for Kindle. Th This was a really great introduction to Android, in the form of an intensive course. The "table of contents" includes every heading, even the very lowest-level ones, making it very hard to navigate. The "exercise on one page, answer on the next page" thing doesn't work right either. It could do with someone really fixing it up for those devices. Easy to read, easy to replicate their experiments, accessible code from Github, very intuitive.

The only minor problems are: 1 some parts of the book are outdated given the new versions of Android Studio, and 2 it does not cover some advanced concepts. I thought that this was a fairly good introduction but it may have been a bit too basic. Even though this book is a little outdated, I was able to make everything work and only had to change things here and there. I was a little disappointed in the lack of a third-party API integration as this is a common app requirement.

Also, the material design chapter didn't actually talk much about material design. Overall, the book I thought that this was a fairly good introduction but it may have been a bit too basic. Overall, the book is best used for getting a taste of Android Development. View all 3 comments. This book is a decent introduction to the Android development. In fact this one was the easiest tech books I'd ever read. All the topics present in it were covered more or less thoroughly and in a fun way.

Of course preliminary Java knowledge is required to fully understand what's going on. And obviously not all things were covered. So to go pro you'll need to extensively re This book is a decent introduction to the Android development. So to go pro you'll need to extensively refer to the Android documentation and this book just makes the whole process much easier. This is the first review I've ever written in English.

Despite that, I've read this book in Russian. I've grabbed it in the local store, and it was a very impulsive acquisition. On the translation I can say it is surprisingly decent. That was such a amazing book. It was my first book when I started to learn android development which was chosen by my teacher, he told us it was the best book out there. It is perfect for beginners, super easily explained core concepts of android development and some of the basic architecture of android studio.

However this book did not cover much of extra and advanced functionality, it is only for core concepts to get you on track. Also the authors of this book expect you to know Java language, That was such a amazing book. Also the authors of this book expect you to know Java language, but I was newbie at Java and I found an amazingly well explained and guided code examples, if you are familiar with OOP the examples it will be piece of cake for you : Highly recommended!

I think that book is a bright example of technical literature that is really useful and easy to understand. Even though I read the edition of , and it had quite a lot of outdated approaches, more important is the way of authors deliver the material, it makes it easy to migrate all received knowledge from the book to real practice with minor corrections.

This book covers only fairly the basics of the starting point of the path to advanced android development, but the knowledge it gives makes it I think that book is a bright example of technical literature that is really useful and easy to understand.

This book covers only fairly the basics of the starting point of the path to advanced android development, but the knowledge it gives makes it a nice and solid foundation for further education. Bought this book as a recommendation from my university hub, last year when I started Android Development. As a person who usually follows online tutorials for learning to code, this book exceeded my expectations. After finishing it, my Android Developments module assignment was a piece of cake.

It expects the reader to have some Java knowledge already or at least some OOP concepts. You'll gain essential information about each step of the software development lifecycle -- requirements, design, coding, testing, implementing, and maintenance -- and understand why and how different developme Head First iPhone and iPad Development.

Head First C. Ever wished there was an easier way to learn C from a book? Head First C is a complete learning experience that will show you how to create programs in the C language. Kotlin is an expressive and concise programming language that reduces common code errors and easily integrates into existing apps. In an effort to support Android development using Kotlin, we co-founded the Kotlin Foundation and have ongoing investments in improving compiler performance and build speed.

To learn more about Android's commitment to being Kotlin-first, see Android's commitment to Kotlin. Many developers already enjoy using Kotlin, and the request for more Kotlin support was clear. When building new Android development tools and content, such as Jetpack libraries, samples, documentation, and training content, we will design them with Kotlin users in mind while continuing to provide support for using our APIs from the Java programming language.

Our engineers enjoy the language features Kotlin offers, and today over 60 of Google's apps are built using Kotlin. Content and code samples on this page are subject to the licenses described in the Content License.
