โœฆ Synopsis


I had high hopes for this book, but reached only around page 50 before becoming completely lost. Even instructions for setting up Elipse and the Android SDK are completely out of date, and I ended up venturing online for more detailed information. Once I got online, I found everything to be clearer than the contents of the book, which glazed over some massive areas vital to getting started with Android. The Android development environment is still in a state of flux, so I suspect it will be more valuable to use online resources than books until it starts to stabilize. Even so, there are many errors throughout the book - the back page refers to a URL for code downloads that leads to an error "Unknown column '112downloads' in 'where clause'".
