Raleigh, NC--Now you can create mobile apps for Android phones and tablets faster and more easily
than you ever imagined.

In Rapid Android Development (Pragmatic Bookshelf, $35), you'll learn how to use "Processing." It's

Whether you're a student, teacher, hobbyist, or experienced developer, Rapid Android Development
puts the fast-growing market for Android phone and tablet applications within your reach. Without
needing to master the complexities of Java, Eclipse, or the Android SDK, you'll find yourself
writing dazzling graphics displays and location-aware programs in no time.

With more than 40 ready-to-run demos, applications, and games, you'll find yourself diving deeper
than you thought possible into the treasure trove of software and hardware packed into today's
Android devices. You'll learn how to:

 - Access the Android touch screen, keyboard, and gestures to create eye-popping user experiences.
 - Tap into Android's on-board sensors for orientation, location, motion, geolocation, and more to
build environment-aware applications.
 - Use Android's built-in networking devices to access the Internet, network with nearby Android
devices, and interact with NFC-formatted RFID tags.
 - Create OpenGL accelerated 2D and 3D graphics.
 - Integrate camera images, video, and face-detection into your mobile apps.
 - Take selected apps cross-platform with new Processing support for HTML 5 and JavaScript.

And once the prototyping is done, you can easily move your work to Eclipse for debugging and
deployment.
