With sifoo Wenjiun (middle) of @CodeAndroidMy  in the 3 days training (26-28 July 2010).

The next training to attend; Application Development on Android.

Why Android? I strongly believe this is an open platform that freely (as in freedom) customized for the developer to enhance and customize. It’s also a smart phone platform that does not limit creativity.
