Love your iPhone? Think Android is a cheap knock off? I did too. As a longtime Apple user and iOS developer I recently embarked on a journey to learn Android development.

In this technical talk I will go over the pros and cons of each platform. We'll look at a handful of code samples demonstrating the similarities and differences between Android's Java APIs and iOS's Objective-C APIs.

Android has come a long way very quickly. Understanding it's user interaction paradigms and coding practices will make us better iOS users and developers.
