<html><head></head><body>Tried to get into Android development with a friend of mine a few years ago. He was developing on windows with Eclipse and I wanted to develop on Linux by mirroring his environment. After about a week of manually touching configuration files for Eclipse, I gave up.<br>
<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>

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 />
