I've got one on the way in the mail as well.
I didn't plan to learn Java, but will do so to develop for Android and I feel it's the most interesting platform and has the most long-term viability.
- technomancy 17y agoCheck out some of the alternate languages available for Android development: http://technomancy.us/134 http://technomancy.us/134 If you're going to be moving away from Apple's monolingual nightmare you might as well take advantage of it. =)
- WildUtah 17y agoApple supports three languages for development; they're just all equivalent and none of them is any better than Java. (C, C++, Objective-C)
- donaq 17y agoThose are more like dialects than languages, IMO.
- SingAlong 17y agoHey! thanks for the tip. I didn't know about Duby. Any link to get started running Duby on Android? Would be helpful to many hungry wannabe-android guys. I thought I'll take a light year to learn Android dev. But Duby seems to bring some hope.
- SingAlong 17y agoAh! I figured out something from the technomacy blog post. The last part says: Adapting the build process to Duby was surprisingly easy. You redeclare the compile task to call the Duby compiler instead of javac, tell it to output its bytecode in the right directory, and the rest of it just falls into place. link: http://github.com/technomancy/Garrett/blob/master/build.xml#L67 http://github.com/technomancy/Garrett/blob/master/build.xml#...
