I/O BootCamp 2011: Beginner's Guide to Android

[kamiller42]

Too many slides. Use slides to make point. Show code or project that exercises and reinforces point. Repeat.

[patwic92]

I have no idea what people complaining about his accent are talking about. I hardly notice anything at all.

[zorille8]

First impression: oh, he's using a Mac. Second: uhh, that's some accent. Third: duh, what an annoying t-shirt.

[kilvanox]

@zorille8 What about u?

Wow, there's so many narrow minded people in this comments. A hammer will be a hammer regardless of what brand you use, is how you use it what will yield results.

As for the presentation, it gives a good general idea on what goes into developing an app, but does not teach you how to make an app, just an FYI.

And as an American English speaking individual, his accent sounds just fine and understandable to me

[CaNniBaLiStiCrAgE]

If I want to write apps where do I start if I've never written any code or anything. I'm a beginner beginner to all of this. Any advice would be great on where to start! :)

[robertvoice]

Am Listening, but I cant understand this guy talking :S He talks too fast and braided :(

[totizy]

I'm just thinking this's the great video for beginning who wanna know everything in deep, not just only know how to write.

Thanks

[yuandt]

Can't Google find an american english speaking presenter to do the demo? the accent is really disturbing for me who lives in US.

[eseurg]

Great talk. All the essential information was in there, and the speaker did a perfect job. Thanks!

[Vlaxiti]

how much to u actually earn per sale , and how much goes to the android company?

is it a better deal than apple?

[mrmoe110]

@SnoweyMan111 its the little things that count. You may not think it needs publicity but it would be nice if Google showed confidence in their own OS by actually showing the public that they use it instead of just telling us to use it. All of the people who watch this video may not remember one word the developer says but I bet they remember what laptop was sitting on the table.

[SnoweyMan111]

@mrmoe110 Actually why they're building a OS altogeather is supprsing. It's open source so there's no selling it really. Google doesn't really gain anything from the OS itself I think, unless I'm missing something.

And if they don't I think that's why they're not really pushing for it. And as many other mentions it puts them in a great light to have this open policy rather than the windows/mac arian use of Windows or Mac.

I watch this to learn though, I may see things differently.

[SnoweyMan111]

@mrmoe110 Sorry just saw how messed up that comment was, make some assumptions about what I'm saying and you will figure it out. Was really distracted. There's some double negatives that shouldn't be there :P

[MblCJluTEJlb]

@mrmoe110

this video is for aspiring developers, not for people who care about what laptop someone else is using.

[kwreck0022]

@MblCJluTEJlb Thank You. and BTW, my understanding is that Mac OS is Unix/Linux-based under the hood, anyway... as is Android

[LukaKotar]

you're talking about android with a macbook in front of you! lol!

[Pitpointer]

tut mir leid der player jetzt ist schlecht sehr schlecht der balken der ins video kommt gehört unter das video ändert das wieder sofort

[mrmoe110]

Whether we like it or not Google and Apple are competing. If Google makes Chrome OS they should show it off to the public any chance they get. Would you see a windows pc at an Apple presentation?

[SnoweyMan111]

@mrmoe110 If you think we live in a world where chrome needs publicity at a Beginners Guide to android, talk. I don't know what to say. And macs are superior when it comes to laptops due to the fact that apple already only does prebuilt.. Only sensible choice really, if you got the money.

[robertpurvis]

I'm surprised they aren't pushing for Chrome OS

[harnsermedia]

Great vid.

[sebby007]

He speaks really clear, easy to understand English. If you don't understand him then good luck understanding anybody. Also, you can always enable subtitles.

[GeorgeFrick]

Pretty good beginners video. English is just fine. Thanks for the presentation!

[nickTube1116]

I had to put my full concentration on just trying to understand Nick Butcher's English than listening to the lesson. Damn!!! DAMN!!! I HATE WHEN I CANT UNDERSTAND THE ENGLISH OF THE SPEAKER, I REALLY had to put my full ATTENTION on just trying to just understand his English than learning his android BootCamp course.

[keksberg]

@nickTube1116 I'm from Germany and I had no problems listening to him...

[mrmoe110]

Google shouldn't use Macs during I/O presentations. At least cover the logo SMH

[JLishere]

@mrmoe110 I actually think it's great that Google employees can choose what computer / OS / device they want to work with: Linux, Windows, Android or Macs - as opposed to being told what to use. Microsoft employees are forced to use Windows. Apple employees are forced to use Mac OS. Google's approach seems to be: let people use whatever is in the market out there and see where our own products can improve. At least, I think that's what they want.

[amjibaly]

@JLishere Actually I heard last year that Google doesn't allow Windows clients anymore due to security risks, I don't know if that actually happened though.

[pufixas]

@JLishere

cuz they don't have their own desktop OS...

[strider196]

@mrmoe110 Why?

[Alex13N]

@mrmoe110 Google does not make computers so they are not a competitor. Give me one good reason they shouldn't?
