Not everybody uses Eclipse. I need to learn how to do it the Ant way anyhow.

This slide should cover threads, AsyncTask, and services, and the potential pitfalls to watch out for.

Some slides have little useful content for a couple reasons:

1. I intended to explain most of it verbally.
2. It was better to demo it directly on the other screen (laptop).

To fill in that gap, users who are viewing the presentation standalone should be able to read author notes for each page, filling in some of these details.

Defining the slides in a giant enum with a confusing dose of reflection didn't quite work out the way I'd hoped.

It'll be easier to define content in an XML resource that can also reference other resources directly.

The transition from the title slide to the second slide is choppy, sometimes to the point where it doesn't even seem to have played. This only occurs the first couple times it is played; playing it multiple times (by repeatedly pressing the "previous" and "next" buttons) smooths it out.

I suspect the layout abuse is the culprit, or at least contributes to it mightily.

Initial launch of the app should pull up the Table of Contents, with a big button to start the presentation at the selected slide.

This will also make debugging easier.

Dummy issue for 1.1 milestone.

The action bar customizations were abandoned early on since I didn't really think through what functionality it should have.

It's time to bring it back.

• Link to Table of Contents (see #4).
• Quick jump to any slide
• Display slide index / total number of slides

Layouts, animations, and drawables which are sized for tablets should be moved into -v11 resource dirs so we can start filling in Froyo versions.

Dummy issue for the 1.2 milestone.

Dummy issue for the 2.0 milestone.
