review 1: This book was a good introduction to android development and I was happy with the sample programs that the author selected to illustrate/teach different features. The one major drawback was that I had some pretty serious issues executing the sample code since it contained errors that I was unable to resolve. I'm not sure if it was user error or that the book (or version I own) is a bit dated and nuances in code are not compatible with the current Eclipse IDE. Whatever the case, the concepts taught were useful and it was worth the read.
review 2: This is a phenomenal book. I would definitely recommend this book to any of my friends, looking to develop Android Applications. For anyone that is not really interested in Android Application Development, than this
... moreis definitely not their book. But, then again; why would they even pick up this book? So, there's no negative aspects to this book, when looking at it that way. This is a very educational book and a lot of what you read within, is to educate yourself so there's not much enjoyment to it. But, for anyone looking to learn how to develop, this is the BEST book for them. I enjoyed reading the book because the personal narration along with the lessons, made it more enjoyable. Also, I felt accomplished after finishing the book that I could actually complete all of the tasks taught in the book. This book helped me with my personal life, by helping me develop android applications. This is definitely a good read for anyone who is looking to start off in this field. less

API is dated. Don't like build a big application model to learn an API. Was OK...at best.
