"La Linux Foundation ha avviato negli scorsi giorni un progetto davvero interessante: Android Programming for Beginners. Si tratta di un programma per imparare le basi della programmazione per il Robottino, destinato a tutti gli appassionati che vogliono cimentarsi non tanto e non solo nella creazione di applicazioni, ma interfacciarsi direttamente con il proprio dispositivo."
