No matter you are a student or a job hunter, you will find this case-study approach is extremely helpful for Android learning. With every new Android subject, the sooner you start playing with the code, the faster you will learn the concepts. Even if you blaze through an entire chapter of reading and a topic like ListView seems straightforward - so a monkey could do it - you''ll still be scratching your head when tasked to implement the code. You''ll think, "wait, what was that one piece of syntax again?" As the saying goes, you need to "use it or lose it", because despite the evolution of technology, this ole'' proverb holds true when learning to code. Actually, few people will doubt the concept. The real question is: what I''m going to do? The answer is case study. Harvard adopted case method in their business school and soon became #1 in the world. Following the workable cases, re-do it is just the best way to learn a new language like Android. You could practise with these cases. If succeed, put the new knowledge in brain and move on to next case. If not, compare the case you are reading and what you did and get what you are missing. You will grow fast with that. Learn Android App developing from scratch, and practice in an intuitive environment. Throughout this Android case study book, you will read short lessons with a concise case, solve challenges and projects, step by step. Going through 22 cases in this book, you will grow from an Android App novice to an expert. 2. Grasp the fundamentals first. This book identifies Android fundamentals as the CORE. We explain the CORE with cases instead of just theory. Practice the CORE a couple of times until you truly fully understand it, or at least memorize it. You will keep using them again and again in the future. From unknown to core is a big jump, while from core to full functional is just a small step. We sliced the core parts from the full functional app and explain them clearly so that you could grasp the fundamental in no time. Besides, we embed the core with a workable case so that you won''t be lost among those concepts. 3. Code by hand. It sharpens proficiency. Learn by yourself, a case-by-case book is a must. Following the steps in each case, key in the code, then spend hours to debug and run it. At beginning you will find grammar problem, reserved word problem. Anything only through typing in to computer by your hand could we notice it. Soon, the problems only come from Android itself. By then, you could start Android App job-hunting or your own exploration to the new world. 4. Ask for help. Multiple channels. Stackoverlfow, Github, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, we are there for you. 5. Don''t read the sample code. Tinker with it! No read. Just do. If not knowing what to do, follow the 22 cases in this book. The 22 cases are open-sourced, so you can use them directly in your daily work with minimum modification, which help you go on track fast. Each case is designed by senior mentors and developers to help bridge the learning gap between theory and real-world code. Workable, updated, In our book, we extracted the essence of each knowledge, embedded it in a complete workable case, and strengthen the tricks to use them. You will understand the concept in a concise way, and catch the core component easily. Download them from our website, and run them in Android Studio 4.2 in your computer. You will learn by doing. Create a complete workable app in each chapter that demonstrates the topics being introduced. The PDF version is available upon request when you purchase the paperback book.
