Introduction

Both of the first author’s (Jon’s) parents were artists. They each could draw fantastical pictures that resembled real life, and were shocked to see that their son could barely muster up a stick figure. If you’ve always felt that your inner artist was best expressed through what you could build with the help of a computer and the Internet, then this book can guide your virtual paintbrush. The finished product? A mobile web application for Android devices, which can in turn inspire creativity and productivity in millions of prospective users. It is our hope that this book will give you all that you need to get up and running and creating your masterpieces in no time.
