There are some potentially serious "gotchas" that can be overlooked that way - fortunately academic computer science programs (the poster seems to be in one) tend to put a lot of emphasis on the kinds of things that tend to get done subtly wrong when code-monkeying. The combination of class material providing awareness of what to watch out for, with practical experience of what kinds of things seem to work, should be pretty good. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
