Part 1. What is Android?—The Big Picture
Android promises to be a market-moving technology platform—not just because of the functionality available in the platform but because of how the platform has come to market. Part 1 of this book brings you into the picture as a developer of the open source Android platform. We begin with a look at the Android platform and the impact it has on each of the major “stakeholders” in the mobile marketplace (chapter 1). We then bring you on board to developing applications for Android with a hands-on tour of the Android development environment (chapter 2).
