Time, money and programming skills--these are the things you THINK you need in order to get into the business of Android app creation. But as Brandon Nolte's book, `How to Make Android Apps: the Non-code Guide to Creating your First Android App,' it turns out you don't need much of the said three things. Maybe a bit of the time and money (but again, not much), but the programming part--you don't need that. And the book tells you how.This is a godsend to me: ever since I've read about that little company that made the "Fart" button iPhone app making millions in sales, I've often tried at different times to enter the business of creating apps. Unfortunately, I'm more an idea person than a programmer--for me, trying to earn how to code would be like reinventing the wheel--a time-consuming, painful process with little hope of success.That's where `How to Make Android Apps' comes in--it is an enlightening piece of work, emphasis on "enlightenment." Because as it turns out, even idea persons like myself without any programming skills can "create" Android apps--a rapidly booming market. The book shows how in helpful, easy-to-understand language, with lots of actionable information. And the best thing: Nolte sets a clear, seven-week timeline, from idea to completion.If you're like me who wants to tap the vast Android market but without programming skills, download a copy of this book--it may be one of your best personal investments.
