Hello, Android, Second Edition--New from Pragmatic Bookshelf
Introducing Google's Mobile Development Platform

Raleigh, NC--Watch out, iPhone. Here comes Android.

Android combines the ubiquity of cell phones, the excitement of open source software, and the
corporate backing of Google and other Open Handset Alliance members. The result is a mobile
platform you can't afford not to learn. This second edition is completely updated for Android 1.5
(Cupcake) and Android 1.6 (Donut).

Getting started developing with Android is easy. You don't even need access to an Android phone,
just a computer where you can install the Android SDK and the phone emulator that comes with it.
Within minutes, Hello, Android (Pragmatic Bookshelf, $32.95 USD) will get you creating your first
working application: Android's version of "Hello, World."

From there, you'll build up a more substantial example: an Android Sudoku game. By gradually adding
features to the game throughout the course of the book, you'll learn about many aspects of Android
programming including user interfaces, multimedia, and the Android life cycle.

Every page and example in this second edition was reviewed and updated for compatibility with the
new versions of Android. In addition, two new appendixes show you how to create Widgets for the
Home screen and publish your application to the Android Market.

If you're a busy developer who'd rather be coding than reading about coding, this book is for you.
To help you find what you need to know fast, each chapter ends with a "Fast-Forward" section. These
sections provide guidance for where you should go next when you need to read the book out of
order.

address and contact information.

Ed Burnette is a professional developer and author living in Cary, North Carolina.
