]]> Comment on My Android Application Is Alive!!!! by faber http://linuxnj.com/system-integration/its-alive#comment-258 faber Fri, 05 Sep 2008 15:02:49 +0000 http://linuxnj.com/?p=29#comment-258 Surprisingly easy. I've always thought of Java as a big, bloated language but it's not. It feels sleek and sharp, much like C does. I guess I confused Java with all those frameworks. Writing the Android app was refreshing. I'm a big Perl coder and I do a fair amount of PHP (although I don't like it) but I really enjoyed writing in Android/Java. The only downside is the API was (is?) changing rapidly so you had to rewrite major parts of the code between versions, but that should be (more) stable these days. Surprisingly easy.
