What should I take away from this?
- lwhi 16y agoMaybe ... "If you’re writing code in the Java programming language you can use Eclipse and a pretty nice toolchain that makes the barrier to entry remarkably low." or maybe (as a commentator on the blog mentions) ... "But game developers revel in pain. And that’s what Android is."
- angusgr 16y agoI don't know about you personally, but I've seen a lot of people confused about exactly this - "what Android is": its architecture, what's its relationship to Linux is, its relationship to Java, its relationship to open source & GPL, etc. This seems to lay a lot of that out fairly cleanly and simply.
- theBobMcCormick 16y agoVery true. There are a lot of discussions, blog posts, etc. online where people seem to think that Android either is a Linux distribution of some sort, or that it's a Java JVM (like J2SE, etc). In reality it's neither.
