Ratings and reviews

I am unable to buy this ebook because apparently it is unavailable in my country.... Seriously, I am able to buy many other 'for dummies' titles, so why not this one???

Great book! If you're holding back due to the price, don't - it's well worth it. Sure, the Android documentation available online is great, but this is much more convenient, and arguably easier to get your teeth into. There are a few minor formatting issues (such as code spilling out of the grey boxes it's supposed to be in), but those aside it's hard to fault.

Dude, awsome book, I really just bought it 'cause I'm a curious little person, but you make it so easy that I'm seriously thinking about making some apps myself.
