Ian Clifton

Ian G. Clifton is a professional Android application developer with a lot of experience working on both the client and server.  His excitement for Android development is second only to by his passion for sharing that knowledge with others.  Having worked as the lead developer on several major Android apps (e.g., CNET News, Survivor, Big Brother, Rick Steves’ Audio Europe, etc.), he has honed his ability to teach other developers the Android platform and best coding practices.  Ian is also the author of the upcoming book Android User Interface Design, which explains Android design principles, thoroughly covering the design process from ideas, wireframes, and comps to a completed app. It also discusses advanced graphical techniques.  When he manages to find a few minutes where he isn’t developing apps, creating tools to support application development, recording videos, or writing books, Ian enjoys photography, drawing, and video games.
