This summer I decided to engage in some extracurricular coding; I bought an e-book on Android programming and began typing away. I soon realized that I really had no idea what it was that I was doing. It's pretty difficult to actually understand the code you're writing if all you're doing is typing the sample code segments from the book.
I decided that I needed to venture away from the book and write an app of my own. Additionally, I wanted to gain some experience with version control software, so I created a Github account to hold my project. And thus Better Shopping List was born.
Over the past 10 days, I've brought a very basic list keeping app into existence with minimal copy/pasting from the internet. As the project has progressed, I've been forced to consult the Android API many times in order to solved my problems.
