Welcome to today's Daily Build from CodeProject.
Android Tutorial Contest*
In the spirit of our ridiculously fun HTML5 contest we've launched an Android Tutorial Contest to put together a series of beginner articles on Android. We provide the table of contents, you write the articles, and we shower you with fame and fortune and stuff.This is for Android developers who can write short, simple and clear articles. We don't need 5,000 word essays. Get your readers up to speed as efficiently as possible. The articles should be easy to read and, we hope, very easy to write, so we're looking forward to some quality work.
To add some spice I'll be following along and teaching myself Android development as the articles come out. No pressure!
Details here.
