Android Tutorial Contest - $10K in Prizes

We've just launched an Android Tutorial Contest to put together a series of beginner articles on Android and there is plenty of shiny loot to be won. Throughout the contest we'll release a series of article outlines on the Android development topics we want you to write about and you compete with fellow members to produce the best tutorials.

The articles should be easy to read and, we hope, very easy to write. Keep it simple and get your readers up to speed as efficiently as possible. The deadline for the first three articles is fast approaching so get writing! Learn how to enter.

Speaking of getting beginners into Android... the folks at Intel have been working to get new, young programmers into Android Development and tools like their HAXM technology and the new INDE suite are worth checking out if you're diving into a new Android project any time soon.

cheers,
Chris Maunder

  • Strongly Typed JavaScript (TypeScript)–No excuse now for not diving deep into JavaScript!! - Chinmoy Mohanty
    The mainstay of .NET or for that matter, C# has been its strong type checking which we get at compile time. Its so much a part of C#, that we somewhat take it for granted. If we remove Type checking in C#/VS, we'll be severely handicapped for sure. Type checking and Intellisense  are the 2 […]
