But why java or java + xml? Why not C or C + xml, or python, or perl, or php, or haskell, or lua, or pascal, or fortran, or fourth, or verilog or logo or basic or whatever language one knows already and is most comfortable with? Also why XML at all? is XML only for screen and display layout or is it found in other ways? if so how?
Also could this group suggest a few good books and resources (esp. online) for learning Java and android Development?
