GatorJUG Android Workshop with Kevin Neelands May, 2012

We had a great time, ate lots of pizza and learned a lot about mobile programming at the May GatorJUG meeting with Kevin Neelands at Santa Fe College. Kevin brought his computer loaded up with Eclipse and the Android dev environment.

Kevin began by describing some of the aspects that make Android programming familiar to Java programmers. He showed us his Periodic Table app he developed using iOS for iPhone and then described how he went about converting it to run on Android. If you get a chance, search for Neelands Periodic Table of the Elements - it's one of the most popular free apps out there on mobile devices.

We had a few giveaways that night including a shiny new copy of an advanced Java programming book and a few T-Shirts. Reed Tillis showed us his mobile docking station with a built in full size keyboard and nice sized monitor. Motorola did a good job. 

Stay tuned - we'll have lots of interesting meeting presentation topics coming up in the future. And, if you're interested in sponsoring a meeting or presenting please contact me.
