With Beginning Android Web Apps Development you'll learn how to apply HTML5 CSS3 JavaScript
Ajax and other Web standards for use on the Android mobile platform by building a variety of
fun and visually stimulating games and other web applications! If you've done some basic web
development and you want to build your skills to create exceptional web apps you'll find
everything you seek in the discussions and examples in this book. Each application you'll build
in Beginning Android Web Application Development will show you solutions that you can apply to
many of your own projects. Each example shares techniques and coding solutions that will
inspire your own work. You'll learn how to tie your Android apps into Twitter through two apps
that you'll build: Who's that Tweet?! a quiz game based on celebrity accounts and I Love Ham
a coding investigation into search phrases and rhyming. Your Android web app development skills
will then proceed in another direction as you discover the power of HTML5 in two game apps:
Scavenger Hunt which introduces you to the HTML5 GPS location API and Spies! a
location-based application that shows you how to use CSS3 Ajax and HTML5 within multi-player
environments. You'll also create an Android web application which checks the arrival time of
buses and light-rails through the use of Portland Oregon's open Tri-Met data API! This app is
a great template for other apps you may want to build in the future and showcases the
important techniques for incorporating cloud-based apps into web games. After reading Beginning
