Some areas of the Android APIs are amazingly easy and will make you smile, some areas are depressingly quirky and will steal away whole afternoons of time. During my talk, you will learn how to use some these APIs so that you can more quickly create your first app. Along the way, I'll tell a sad, yet hopeful programming story. Greg's background: Greg Milette has been a software engineer in the defense industry for 7 years. One day, he acquired a G1 Android phone. One hour later, he created "hello world." 3 months later, he entered an app into the Google's Developer Challenge and placed 19th in the Lifestyle app category. Registration |
