Bryson Payne helps take the difficulty out of learning a new programming language by guiding you step-by-step through creating Java-based mobile and desktop apps, including a guessing game, a secret message encoder, a multi-touch Android app, an animated drawing app that can be shared with friends on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android mobile devices. By providing a hands-on, learn-by-doing approach, he provides students, teachers, professionals, and hobbyists with the skills they need to start coding right away with Java.

• Perform calculations, manipulate text strings, and generate random colors
• Use conditions, loops, and methods to make your programs responsive and concise
• Create functions to reuse code and save time
• Build graphical user interface (GUI) elements, including buttons, menus, pop-ups, and sliders
• Take advantage of Eclipse and Android Studio features to debug your code and find, fix, and prevent common mistakes
