Video Description

Android App Development Fundamentals 2/e uses Paul Deitel's unique "app-driven" approach to get you up and running quickly with Google's popular Android SDK.

The lessons in this LiveLesson were carefully designed to introduce you to key Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and 4.4 (KitKat) features and APIs. You first learn how to install the Android Integrated Development Environment. You’ll then learn everything you need to start building Android apps–beginning with a test drive of the Doodlz app in lesson 1, then building your first app in lesson 2. By the time you reach Lesson 8, you’ll be ready to create your own apps for submission to Google Play and other app marketplaces.

Paul Deitel is the co-founder of Deitel & Associates, Inc., the internationally recognized programming languages authoring, corporate-training and Internet business development organization. Paul and his father–Harvey Deitel–have written many international best-selling programming-language professional books and textbooks that millions of people worldwide have used to master C++, C, Java™, C#, Visual Basic®, Visual C++®, XML, Perl, Python, and Internet and web programming.
