Cons
Con Starts off readers learning Android 1.5
One of the problems with this book is that not only is it two years old but it teaches its readers to code for the oldest and rarest versions of Android first when it may be simpler to learn the updated and improved more recent versions of Android.
Con Some programming knowledge needed before reading
"Beginning Android Games" skips the basics of programming that some may want if they have limited programming experience.
