Notes

The .tgz file is a gzip-compressed tar archive, and can be extracted with a command such as:
$ tar xzf eband2-code.tgz
The .zip file is a standard Zip archive, and can be extracted with (for example):
C:\temp> unzip eband2-code.zip

Although not universally true, zip files are more commonly used on Windows systems, while tar files are used on Unix-based systems. You may need to download a separate utility to extract files from an archive on Windows.

This is a most excellent book: very well written, easy to read, and fun. In addition, any of Android’s quirks are explained along with just the right amount of detail to ensure quality programming principles are followed.

Ed Burnette covers an impressive amount of ground in a nicely compact book while retaining the popular Pragmatic style. For the material on 2D and 3D graphics alone, this is worthy of a spot in any Android developer’s library.

I remember when I first started to work with Android; it was like a huge maze. With this book, the introduction would have been much less painful. I am convinced that by reading this book new Android programmers will have an easier start.

I’ve read several books on Android from cover to cover, and skimmed several others, and ‘Hello, Android’ is hands-down the best introduction to Android development.
