Java Programming for Android Developers For Dummies

How to Use This Book

You can attack this book in either of two ways: go from cover to cover or poke around from one
chapter to another. You can even do both (start at the beginning, and then jump to a section that
particularly interests you). This book was designed so that the basic topics come first, and the
more-involved topics follow them. But you may already be comfortable with some basics, or you
may have specific goals that don’t require you to know about certain topics.

In general, my advice is this:

• If you already know something, don’t bother reading about it.
• If you’re curious, don’t be afraid to skip ahead. You can always sneak a peek at an earlier
  chapter if you need to do so.
