Alright, what is up guys and this video I'm going to be giving my very short opinion on Android Studio 3.5 development essentials, the Kotlin edition book and how I read it, how I enjoyed it and the part I didn't like. So let's just get into this immediately. It's going to be a very, very fast review. What I really enjoyed about it was how short it was, how each project, how each chapter was fairly short so you could really progress through the book. The pictures and the diagrams are very descriptive. I really love that. It's eye candy, I love to see pictures, it really helps my learning and it made everything pretty self-explanatory. It's very easily written in a way that you can understand everything you're reading even if you're a beginner. Although those are the main strong points of this book. Now let's move on to the points I didn't really enjoy too much were that this book used templates. I absolutely hate using templates. I don't encourage it when it comes to learning a new language or how to use Android Studio because templates are filled with codes that is just hard to understand if you haven't worked with it before. So this uses lots of templates and the problem with this one was also that in 3.5 the templates are slightly different than the ones in 3.6. So I couldn't use the same template as they had in the book because my Android Studio 3.6 updated version was just incompatible it felt like. And some of the chapters were really really hard to follow. I mean there was a section where it said you should insert a text view and then you should use it as an edit text and I just could not figure out what that meant. I had no clue how to use a text to use an edit text. I could not cast it in the example and the example just didn't work in the end. So some of the chapters I found really really difficult to get to work. I would say maybe I couldn't complete one out of three chapters and that's a really high percentage of failure I feel from following the chapters so I feel it could have been better written either that or this is very specific to 3.5 and definitely go for the 3.6 book but I still find that as a poor excuse for this book not being able to work. The concepts are very clearly written so the best thing I could really say about this book is that even if the projects didn't work I had such a beautiful image of how they should work and I could definitely just recreate the project with the concept behind it and it's a very good book for giving you the concepts of how things work and a general direction of where to go when you are working with Android Studio and development in general. So I definitely recommend it as a book that can give you ideas. I don't recommend it as a book that you should really follow word per word because it's I mean it's only a few months old and it's already outdated. I think it's a bit expensive I paid 50 euros for it but other than that yeah I rated it three out of five stars because I wasn't really impressed with the code that didn't work the poor choice of words and my programming friends kind of laughed at the redouted codes that was used in the book because sometimes they would put lines of code that just didn't have to be there and it just seemed to create extra text in the book that was not necessary and just complicated life a bit but other than that it was a great book and yeah that's all I can say about it.
