Wrox’s Android Book • January 20th, 2009

Wrox - Professional Android Application Development

I recently finished Wrox’s book titled Professional Android Application Development, no content description required.  At the time I bought this, and I think it’s still the same, there are only two books for purchase on Android Development.  I’ve always been a fan or Wrox books, so I chose this one.

Personally, I loved it.  It’s the kind of book you read, rather than reference.  It’s all learn by example, and they have several great example applications that you develop throughout the book.  In the end I felt I had a solid enough starting point to venture out and develop applications on my own.

Any holes left after reading the book are easily filled referencing Google’s Android Docs.  They’ve been steadily improving them and adding coding examples which has been greatly appreciated.

If you’re in the market for a Android book, I highly recommend the above!

Cheers,

Brenton
