Big Question: Why I wanted to learn Android Development?



I must admit that I have been obsessed by app development since some time now.  Despite all my efforts, I have not been able to give it a look till date.

However, today I decided that I would allocate some hours weekly on self learning and focus on my goal to get a hold on this challenge as well as log my performance in that respect.

Currently I develop scopes for apps for one of the leading app development companies in the world. And that is enough to answer everyone's wierd question as why I want to learn android development.

After spending 15 years in the field of database development, working hardcore in PHP/mySQL, winning a UNV award back in 2005, staying in a financial institution and finally, stopping by at Appster, I seriously started taking my time out for app development. But the big question was - where to start on this quest. App development was a hot trend in the market. iPhones and Androids, both had their share of love in the market.

However, my little research revealed that Android had actually captured more than 85% of the market share since its launch as compared to iPhone. And also, while working on my everyday projects, I came to know that android was the focus of companies and people in search of developing apps for industry usage rather than for fun.

Hence, with reference to my previous exposure in financial and logistics industries, and my love for Google's versatility, I prefer to chose Android as my OS of choice for learning app development
