Video Tutorials

Dillon Kearns was kind enough to provide the following links and comments.

• This is good video, but it is also very rudimentary. It gives a good explanation of Activities and Intents and is a good first look at the Android SDK.
• Excellent introduction to Android. Probably the best Android tutorial I've found. Gives a good explanation of a wide variety of fundaments. Does a good job explaining how to use set up UI properly using XML
• These videos cover a lot of material. Some of the videos are better than others. The one on databases is particularly useful. (Note: when I found these, they were available for free, but trying just now I couldn't find a link to watch the videos, just to buy them... they might still be available somewhere for free)

Each student can use disk space that is not backed up, and is outside the disk space allocated to their account. This "sandbox" is located at /cs/sandbox/student/username.

Subversion

If you want to use Subversion, please contact me. I can create an svn repository for you. It is deleted when the course ends.

You also can get free project hosting via Google. See code.google.com. They offer free svn, a wiki, and some other stuff. I have not used this yet.
