The Detroit Java User Group brings together members of the Metro Detroit software development community to share ideas, discuss industry advances and explore the use of Java, JVM based technologies, development methodologies and practices. Our members are a community of like minded individuals seeking first hand, practical exposure to code, best practices, tools and cutting-edge solutions. We meet regularly in the Metro Detroit area to network, attend quality technical presentations and to support the education of Software Engineering in general, and the use of Java and related technologies in particular. Meetings are free and open to the public. The only thing you have to do to be a member is to join our YahooGroups mailing list.

ANDROID DEVELOPMENT
DAN HIBBITTS
"Android was built from the ground-up to enable developers to create compelling mobile applications that take full advantage of all a handset has to offer. It was built to be truly open. For example, an application can call upon any of the phone's core functionality such as making calls, sending text messages, or using the camera, allowing developers to create richer and more cohesive experiences for users. Android is built on the open Linux Kernel. Furthermore, it utilizes a custom virtual machine that was designed to optimize memory and hardware resources in a mobile environment. Android is open source; it can be liberally extended to incorporate new cutting edge technologies as they emerge. The platform will continue to evolve as the developer community works together to build innovative mobile applications."
