Make the most of the threads!
If you want to create applications that provide users with great experience, if you want to do complex tasks faster or you just have to do different things at the same time - learn how to use threads. Creating multithreaded programs is difficult, but mastering this art will allow you to achieve tangible benefits!
This book is entirely devoted to the use of threads on the Android platform. Thanks to it you will get to know various methods of asynchronous processing and their advantages and disadvantages. However, at the very beginning you will get acquainted with the basic information on Java multithreading. You will learn how threads communicate with each other and synchronize access to resources and how to manage them. The following chapters contain a large dose of knowledge about various asynchronous techniques. Familiarization with their content will help you choose a technique that will meet your requirements when you start developing a multi-threaded application. This book is a must-read for programmers who want to take full advantage of the Android platform.

The Arduino GSM Shield connects your Arduino to the internet using the GPRS wireless network. Just plug this module onto your Arduino board, plug in a SIM card from an operator offering GPRS coverage and follow a few simple instructions. You can also make/receive voice calls (you will need an external speaker and microphone circuit) and send/receive SMS messages.
