The session and discussion forum starts at 6pm and we'll go until
about 7:30. As usual, food will be provided by our great sponsor,
Magenic.

Session Details:
You’ve learned how to get set up to develop for the Android platform
and how to publish an app. Eclipse is all ready to go and you’ve got a
killer idea. Now what? In this session, we will talk about many of the
key concepts you will need to understand to develop good applications
for the Android platform. We will discuss concepts such as layout,
styling, asynchronous tasks, life cycle management, menus and dialogs.
This will be a code-heavy session where we will be getting our hands
dirty to illustrate these concepts in action.
