Topic: Android Development for .NET Developers

In this talk we will delve into the foray that is Android Development. The topic will be approached and explained from the perspective of a .NET Developer who is on the path to create an Android application. An understanding of the C# language is recommended as Android uses Java (they're fairly close in syntax which is why its recommended that you know the C# syntax). During the course of the session Donn will create a real world Android application and publish it to the Android Marketplace in real time.
