[Alessandro Pellizzari · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ottima raccolta di "ricette", dalle basi fino alla programmazione con NDK. È il primo manuale che ho letto che parli di RenderScript.

Quasi sempre molto chiaro, ma alcune funzionalità, soprattutto tra le più avanzate, non sono chiarissime, o la spiegazione è lasciata a metà.

Nonostante questo, assolutamente consigliabile.
