Table of Contents (the real thing)
So you’re thinking: “What makes Android so special?”
Android is a free and open operating system from Google that runs on all kinds
of devices from phones, to tablets and even televisions. That’s a ton of different
devices you can target with just one platform! (And the market share is gaining
too!) Google provides all of the stuff you need to get started building Android apps
for free. You can build your Android apps on Macs, Windows, or Unix and publish
your apps for next to nothing (with no need for anyone’s approval). Ready to get
started? Great! You’re going to start building your first Android app, but first there
are a few things to set up...
