Since I have the extremely good fortune of heading to Stanford in the fall, where app development is a staple of many a hackathon, I decided it would be worthwhile to get started with learning Android App Development.
Since I had never formally learned Java, I've spent the last month and a half reading various java books and, to my chagrin, have found most of them to be quite dry and difficult to absorb...but then, I discovered O'Reilly Media's Head First series of books.

If you're trying to learn java, I'd seriously recommend picking up this book. |
