Android Hobby Programmers: How to manage a small hobby Android business

by Martin Knudsen

This book will help you to manage a small android business. This is not one of the many fake books that promises you will get rich with apps. But it's a small book for Android hobby developers that gives some insights into managing a small Android business. It will not teach you programming - the book assumes you already knows this, but there are many tips for getting a small hobby business up and running. But there are code examples included for advanced topices such as cloud backends, multiple threads and using bug tracking tools. What sets this book apart is also real world case studies included of apps developed and sold by the author.

Topics covered: how to deal with support, user reviews, updates, bugs, outsourcing of graphics and translations, multiple device support, cloud backends, automatic error reporting, discussion of 3rd party libraries, testing of apps, optimizations, different monetization strategies, future of Android, case studies of real apps.
