Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2011

Ted Neward - author of Effective Enterprise Java; co-author of Professional F#

Android is a new mobile development platform, based on the Java
language and tool set, designed to allow developers to get up to speed
writing mobile code on any of a number of handsets quickly. In this
presentation, we’ll go over the basic setup of the Android toolchain,
how to deploy to a device, and basic constructs in the Android world.

Attendees should be intermediate to advanced Java developers, as no
time will be spent on Java basics, just the Android parts. Attendees
are encouraged to bring laptops to the session (and your Android-based
device, if you have one) to fill out code as we go, but the limited
time frame means a focus on fast delivery of content and example code;
have your fingers warmed up (and the SDK downloaded!) before you get
here.
