Written by Chet Haase, who joined the Android team at Google in 2010, this book chronicles the startup’s beginnings, how the team came together, and how they developed the operating system from scratch. The book also offers insights into the challenges of working in a highly competitive industry dominated by established players. Haase recorded conversations with team members to document the early days of Android’s history leading up to the launch of 1.0.
