Great book I found to be extremely helpful! I went in already having built several projects using Jetpack Compose and wanted to dive into more of the Android View System & learning XML. I personally skipped Section III & IIII as I don't have any current plans to implement features for a Map-Based App or Audio Player, will return to this book when the time comes to cover these sections. It's my third book from Raywenderlich and second I will be recommending. I would suggest learning some Kotlin before diving into this book!
