@tlmcqu80 agreed, I am a beginner and while I can understand what he is "saying" I am a much harder time applying any of it. it is a bit misleading. What I think the title should read is, "A beginner's guide to Android who already has a programming background or is familiar with java."
To anyone looking to learn Android. Forget "Hello, World!" exercises. They teach you NOTHING. Instead, start building simple activities. I recommend the following books: 1. Hello, Android: Introducing Google's Mobile Device Platform 2. Android Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach 3. Ivor Horton's Beginning Java
anyone know a good place to start with this stuff as far as tutorials in programming, not just search box results but personal exp with something that helped them get started in java?
@krophiquon Considering the people in that keynote flew from all over the world and paid to get in I assume they werent newbies who hadn't done a hello world app.. their priorities were probably different
not really a beginner's guide. It seems like it's more "tips for good programming" for novice android developers. Was hoping for more info about actually 'Beginning' android development, ie: setting up the environment and working within the IDE to create a first application.
get the fundamentals first.... understand API's, packages, etc... in a programming class... then come here... make a couple of simple hello word apps first... then come here... the things he's explaining, you must have some understanding of Android programming... android.com
Brilliant, just what I need!
@krophiquon actually it is a beginners guide, cause to beginn programming apps for android u should already be able to do some programming in java...
IdeaRRRRRR only complaint i had about this video. And I had to say it D:
Other than that VERY informative video. Thank you so much.
He mentioned the "beginner's guide" is on developer.android.com.
@Shiraldi and what should they be using ? ..Nexus One for presentation ? :D

as according to 2:43 , this video should be renamed as "Android Best Practices for Beginners"
