September 19, 2013Android is the thing where every developer can practice skills! Maybe that’s the reason all my friends involved in development prefer Android, not iOS 🙂

October 8, 2013My company sent me to one of Dino’s workshops while at a conference in Las Vegas in 2007 – it was so bad I left after an hour. Besides, his area of expertise is Microsoft Web technologies – now he’s going to teach us Android? Pass.
Bas says:
October 8, 2013dude.. That was 6 years ago! Android didn’t even exist back then. Well, almost not.
Alex says:
October 8, 2013So .NET developers are not able to become Android developers? Wow, your bias is showing. What a ridiculous statement.
ELG says:
October 8, 2013so you were in Vegas and you left a workshop because it was “bad”…..is that what you told your boss?
ian says:
October 9, 2013Your comment would have been the more valuable had you said what was poor about the workshop. It’s easy to criticise: but hard to do so in an informative way. Criticism without evidence speaks volumes about the author of the criticism – and says nothing at all about the subject of the criticism.
roberto says:
October 9, 2013I’ve just see the 1st lesson. Very interesting, but I suggest to not stay 2 minutes and more with the same screen (in the beginning) For example, when Dino talks about the pre-required sw installed, should be nice to see a written list.
As soon as I have time, I’ll see all the course.
Sergey Zaika says:
October 9, 2013Thank you for this! It titled as exactly what i need so i will try it.
bhupesh says:
October 11, 2013May i know from where i can download the Cooldriod Software for developing andriod apps … I m new to andriod application.. Please suggest How to start with ??
Chris says:
October 16, 2013Is the source for the examples being used available? It seems sometimes in the lesson everything in the interface isn’t spelled out and I would like to be able to inspect it a bit closer to make sure I understand it and nothing is being missed.
Thanks!

Hadi Hariri says:
September 29, 2015Our collaboration with TutsPlus on this course was for us to provide the course free of charge to them, and in exchange they’d be making it a free course. At no point did they speak of charging for it. This comes as news to us also :/
