If you’re inexperienced in application development, this isn’t for you; try a good book instead. If, however, you’re confident of your ability to read documentation, do your research, and apply your existing skills to a new language, IDE, SDK and platform without the need for a preface, introduction and lecture on guiding principles, you’ve come to the right place.

No filler, no philosophy, and no bullshit – because you’re a professional, and you don’t have time for it. The clock is ticking, so let’s go.

For easy and speedy assimilation, this guide consists of simple lists of facts and tips as bullet points, split into sensible sections. Have a quick read through them, and then start coding.
