Some years later, Gianluca bought an Android phone and started to learn everything about it and about embedded systems. Meanwhile, he continued to improve his skills with the web application, using the Python language and the Django framework together with the Nginx web server and the PostgreSQL database.
In his spare time, he tries to learn security concepts and cryptography applied to his projects.

Smartphones by now entered our li as users and consumers but also as producers of our own contentthis kind of device hasbeen on the market since 1992 (the first was the Simon model by IBM) the big diffusion was driven by Apple's produced 2007 (this year has been released).
Meanwhile another big giant, Google, developed an open source product to be used as internal operating system in mobile devicesdifferen from the leader of the market, this company doesn't constraint to a unique hardware-specific device but allows party compan to use it on cellphones different characteristics. The big advantage was also to be able to sell this device to consumers that don't want to (or can't have) spend much money as the Apple phone. This allowed Android to win the battle of diffusion.
But there is another side to the coin. A variety of devices by different producers means more fragmentation of the underlying system and a non-uniform user experience that can be really disappointing. As programmers, we have to take into account these problems and this book strives to be a useful guideline to solve that problem.
Installing the compatibility package (Must know) , provides Google's primary solution to the backward compatibility problem.
Fragments (Should know) , discusses the fi rst new feature introduced with the new Android release. This recipe also explains how to create the context-adapting UI.
Loader (Should know) , discusses how the smoothness of an Android application is guaranteed using the built-in utilities that allow us to do expensive work in the background.
ActionBar (Should know) , discusses the standard way to create an appealing UI that manages user interactions with our applications.
In order to follow the steps in this book you only need to know the Android platform and be able to compile and install applicationsexamples include the use of the Eclipse IDE but is not mandatory for understanding the steps.
The target audience of this book the programmer that already know how to program the Android platform want to know how write behaving applications that are backward with almost Android ecosystems.
