Then, after reading the chapter, it will be far easier to go and write the code yourself only briefly referring back to the book. Instead, here you will be able to focus on reading and experiencing the code as if you are looking over an Android developer's shoulder the first time. It's an attempt to solve the challenge of reading a book and needing to type code to see the results. What Am I Attempting to Solve With This Format?

This is somewhat of a hybrid format of a video tutorial merged with a book. I believe this will be an effective way of covering the intense subject of Android Development. I am hoping that this method will allow you to read and experience development as if you are looking over an Android developer's shoulder. I am writing the book as a walk-through in an attempt to create a better information product. That's because it includes 37 screenshot images. If you scroll down quickly through this article, you will see that it seems quite long.
