[dba-Tech] The big change

Thanks for that Stuart.  Looks like some light reading for the fall.

There was a link on that page to a page with downloadable projects that
looks pretty useful:

Pingback: Basic4Android Book Resources | Penny Press

It was in the comments section.

I have the Beginner's Guide and the User Guide - both free downloads @
http://www.basic4ppc.com/android/documentation.html (the page also has a lot
of useful looking links to projects) - which should keep me busy until the
book comes out.
