After reading comments by other developers and some discussion with Erel, I have volunteered to create and publish a book about Basic4Android. I’ve only been using the product for a couple of weeks but I am very enthusiastic about it and would love to see it more widely known and used.
I found it quite difficult to find the information I needed while developing my app, so I started writing my own notes. These will form the core of the book.
Klaus Christl has kindly allowed me to use parts of his Beginners Guide and Users Guide, and Erel is allowing me to use those parts of the forum he has written.
I am proposing to make the book as thorough as possible, and therefore would like to include references to a wide range of user-contributed Additional Libraries. I would like to give the classes and methods included in all the libraries (although there might be time restrictions on what I can achieve in the time – see below for publication date).
I wonder if anyone would object if I did this? Basically I would be copying some of the information from the library xml.
The planned publication date is 21 October 2013 to coincide with Droidcon London (Droidcon London 2012).
Later this summer I will be looking for volunteers to read the book and tell me where I have blundered or missed things out. It’s inevitable, and I want this book to do justice to this fabulous product.
If you would like to proof read it and tell me about errors please let me know at [email protected]
If you are prepared to write a review, so much the better. Reviews will be invaluable in gaining the confidence of prospective customers.
Anyone who does NOT want me to use their work, please let me know.
