You won't be sorry to pick up this book. It is not an intro book. If you have been programming in Android, I am quite certain you will pick up more than a handful of useful tips and information. Going through this book is like having a senior developer sharing tips and insights with you. Highly recommended.

Once I started, I couldn't stop reading it. Defenitely, one of the best pieces in my collection of books that are worth having. It's not an introductory Android book, but It's an excellent material for intermediate-advanced Android developers... just what its name says: pushing the limits!
