"It seems that two can play at the same game Microsoft began months ago in trying to pull more developers to the platform. Google's Android team has just launched some online training sessions to help aspiring developers create their own magic.\nAndroid Training is the name of the program, and so far it includes as many as 11 general sections, 34 lessons to help you get started. We're not really sure how much of a developer you already have to be in order to not have a hard time following through these courses, but for a free price tag, you can't lose. \nReto Meier, part of Android Developer relations, said:\n\"From designing effective navigation, to managing audio playback, to optimizing battery life, these classes are designed to demonstrate best practices for solving common Android development problems. Each class explains the steps required to solve a problem, or implement a feature, with plenty of code snippets and sample code for you to use within your own apps. We'\u0092re starting small and this is just the beginning for Android Training. Over the coming months we will be increasing the number of classes available, as well as introducing over-arching courses and sample apps to further help your development experience.\"\nHead on over to Android Training to get started.\nImage courtesy of iStockphoto, duncan1890"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
