Having got my android phone I decided I'd like to be able to program it, the instructions on the Google code site were great - especially as they provide an Eclipse plugin, and there's only one phone version so far - making the directions very targeted.
Then I looked on my safari bookshelf [2] and found this book.
It's well written, assumes you already know Java and just want to get going quickly on Android, and has downloadable sample code - so far so good.
But - even though it was only published last summer - 6 months later the android API has been through several revisions.
Sadly this book is already out of date.
The perils of targeting such a new technology I suppose.
Well I guess I'll go back to http://code.google.com/android/intro [3]
It's not as much fun to read - but hopefully it's up to date!
