What will you learn from this book?
If you have an idea for a killer Android app, this fully revised and
updated edition will get you up and running in a jiffy. You'll go beyond
syntax and how-to manuals and learn how to think like a great Android
developer. This hands-on book teaches you everything from designing user
interfaces to building multi-screen apps that persist data in a
database. It covers the latest features of Android Jetpack, including
Jetpack Compose. It's like having an experienced Android developer
sitting right next to you! If you have some Kotlin know-how, you're
ready to get started.
Why does this book look so different?
Based on the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory,
Head First Android Development uses a visually rich format to engage
your mind rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. Why
waste your time struggling with new concepts? This multisensory learning
experience is designed for the way your brain really works.
