First Post - Post Google I/O 2015

Just wanted to introduce myself, and why I am starting this blog.. I have been an Android developer since Android 1.0 released.. Stood first in line at my local T-Mobile store so I could buy the G1 when it released. I have co-founded a couple of successful startups, and done some work for a device manufactuer on AOSP. But the reason I started this was to try and keep track of Android Tools / Tips / Tricks that I find useful. I see so many I have a hard time keeping up, and hopefully this will help out.

I just got back from Google I/O 2015, and while I enjoyed myself, I felt a bit left out from all the technical sessions due to the size limitations, so I have been trying to collect some of the information and stash it away here with some commentary. 

Google and their engineers and Developer Relations have decided to make 100 posts (post I/O) around Android Development: I will share each one, and try to tl;dr each and try to mark each one in importance.

Introduction : tl;dr :  This series of articles could be called "Android Programming for Java Developers,” or “Mobile Development for Server and Desktop Developers” because it is meant to point out practices that are necessary for writing good Android apps ... In particular, developers used to writing Java code for non-mobile environments will need to learn new patterns of development."
