+<p>Welcome to the Android Developer Guide! The <strong>Dev Guide</strong> is your conceptual and practical
+introduction to developing applications for Android. With this guide, you're free to explore
+which ever topics interest you, based on your goals and experience.</p>
+
+<p>If you're new to Android, you're probably wondering what it takes to
+write a "Hello, World" application. So here it is:</p>
+
+<pre>
+package com.example.hello;
+
+import android.app.Activity;
+import android.os.Bundle;
+import android.widget.TextView;
+
+public class HelloWorld extends Activity {
+
+ public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+ super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
+ TextView tv = new TextView(this);
+ tv.setText(&quot;Hello, World&quot;);
+ setContentView(tv);
+ }
+
+}
+</pre>
+
+<p>That's the only code you need to write!</p>
+
+<h2 class="small-header">Not convinced?</h2>
+<p>If you're still shouting "Show me the code!" then take a look at
+more Android code in the <a href="{@docRoot}guide/tutorials/hello-world/index.html">Hello World Samples</a>.</p>
+
+<h2 class="small-header">Ready to start?</h2>
+<p>If you're already convinced you want to develop on Android,
+then we'll teach you how to build and run this "Hello, World" application in the
+<a href="{@docRoot}guide/tutorials/hello-world.html">Hello World Introduction</a>.</p>
+
+<h2 class="small-header">Ready for more?</h2>
