You’re in good hands with our seasoned Android Apprentice authors:
Darryl Bayliss is a Software Engineer from Liverpool, currently focusing on Mobile Development. Away from programming he is usually reading, writing on his blog or playing some fantastical video game involving magic and dragons.
Tom Blankenship has been addicted to coding since he was a young teenager, writing his first programs on Atari home computers. He currently runs his own software development company focused on native iOS and Android app development. He enjoys playing tennis, guitar, and drums, and spending time with his wife and two children.
Namrata Bandekar is a Software Engineer focusing on native Android and iOS development. When she’s not developing apps, she enjoys spending her time traveling the world with her husband, SCUBA diving and hiking with her dog. She has also spoken at a number of international conferences on mobile development.
Fuad Kamal provides mobile strategy, architecture and development for the Health & Fitness markets. If you’ve ever been to an airport, you’ve likely seen his work — the flight arrival and departure screens are a Flash 7 interface he wrote towards the beginning of the millennium.
Android Apprentice, 2nd ed. is available today, in full release and is nearly 700 pages of essential tutorial-style content to jumpstart your Android-development app skills!
Remember, when you purchase this book, you get the digital PDF, e-pub, source code and project files, and free updates!
