What will you learn from this book? If you have an idea for a killer Android app, this fully revised and updated edition will get you up and running in a jiffy. You' ll go beyond syntax and how-to manuals and learn how to think like a great Android developer. This hands-on book teaches you everything from designing layouts to the latest features of Android Jetpack, including the Room persistence library, LiveData and the Navigation component. It' s like having an experienced Android developer sitting right next to you! If you have some Kotlin know-how, you' re ready to get started. Why does this book look so different? Based on the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory, Head First Android Development uses a visually rich format to engage your mind rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. Why waste your time struggling with new concepts? This multisensory learning experience is designed for the way your brain really works.
