Hardware

Recommended Mac

With the development of a Mac personal feeling is very good, I went to the first year to change the Mac, since then I simply do not want to touch windows, if you do not have money for a Mac, you can use Ubuntu, but for Android development still have a lot of pits.

Development environment

There are 1.0 versions of Android Studio, and you still have a reason to use eclipse! (currently Android studio support for NDK is still general) but most people do not do the NDK development, the decisive switch to Android Studio!

Thousands of days of domestic VPN part-time do not let developers live, but the ladder is still firm.
