[Android Tutorial] 1. Introduction

Hey there,
due to a workshop i gave in my company i thought i also introduce you to android development. This will be a most practical workshop but some theory is necessary to get your things done. To give this tutorial an overall relaxed apperance i will wrap it with a tiny neat story.

What are we going to do?

First of all you will get a theoretical introduction about the most important things in the world of our tiny little green helper. Afterwards i will explain how to set up you computer so you can develop apps by yourself. If you got that far we will start doing a lot of exercises. Starting with a simple hello world we will make our way to do an organizer app which saves lists of data.

Why should i learn android?

• Very similiar to java programming
• If you already developed in java you will have a good time
• Google loves every developer
• compared to iOS where you need to pay to be able to develop
• Uploading apps to the Play Store is really easy

What do i need to know to follow this tutorial?

You need to be familiar with Java. I will use a little bit of inheritance and maybe some generics aswell.

Let's get started. If you don't understand something or something is unclear just use the comments or email me to info@loris-bachert.de.

Have fun :)
