<br>
Btw, I was a C / C++ developer and we mirrored environments across many different platforms all the time.<br>
<br>
It's frustrating when a cross-platform tool like Eclipse for Java doesn't work that way.<br>
<br>
Of course the other alternative is that I was just too stupid to figure it out. Definitely give me make and vim over any complicated IDE. Especially one is bloated as Eclipse.<br>
<br>
Looked at ant back in the mid nineties and realize that XML is not human readable.<br>
<br>
IMHO. <br><div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 7 December 2015 12:55:47 GMT-05:00, Pete Hardie <<a href="mailto:pete.hardie@gmail.com" target="_blank">pete.hardie@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

It has links to videos, slides, speaker notes and important links for 6 lessons.<br>
Should be enough to create a simple Android app. Fun for everyone!<br>
<br>
I figured a few people might like to learn Android development instead of C or<br>
Linux administration over the holidays. ;) The only warning is that Android<br>
development is usually performed in Eclipse, which is a fairly heavy Java-based<br>
IDE. 8+G of RAM is about the min for Eclipse, 16G would be nominal, IMHO.<br>
