Hello, Android definitely, although several others are also good references. On any of the books, try to get a 2011 publication date and definitely nothing older than 2010, as things are changing fast here, so even on the 2010 ones by the time they have made it through the publication process, there are likely to be some deprecated methods and they will definitely not make use of newer features.

Beginning Android 2 by Mark Murphy is a great start to understand the fundamentals. The flow of the book so far works well. I originally started with the online articles at HTTP://developer.android.com but I prefer a physical book. Pro Android 2 was good but contained more advanced concepts without as much foundation... which makes sense. Android In Action is also good but understand the fundamentals first. Android terminology is slightly different from other languages, intents versus events and views instead of controls are two examples.

I've heard Mark Murphy's books are really good, and his advice on these forums is great too. A book I've recently come across that I like is The Android Developer's Cookbook but the current edition is only up-to-date as of Android 2.2... http://www.amazon.com/Android-Developers-Cookbook-Building-Applications/dp/0321741234/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8s=booksqid=1300832428sr=8-1 Thanks, Justin Anderson MagouyaWare Developer http://sites.google.com/site/magouyaware On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 4:14 PM, Scott scott.sei...@gmail.com wrote: Beginning Android 2 by Mark Murphy is a great start to understand the fundamentals.

I forgot to mention, that one is also available online through Safari Books, which can come in handy...
