Fixing android-wifi-tether

As I read through the internet my number one complaint when it comes to all the wonderful work done by developers is the lack of documentation of the process taken to get to the end result. While I do love the fruits of their labor I'm so interested in the processes that led them there and what they learned along the way. 

With that in mind, after recently working to help in a small way to fixing the wonderful android-wifi-tether application I'd like to share what I found along the way and the steps I took to get there.

Connecting the EVO to ADB

The EVO does not use the standard ADB drivers that come with the development kit. This can be a challenge for those of us who do not know where to look. Luckily HTC has included drivers for our devices in their HTC Sync program, installed on the SD card.

Getting Started with Android Development

I'll be honest, like many I am primarily a .Net developer. My favorite languages are VB and C# and I breath CIL. The world of Android is a little foreign to me and getting started seems like a challenge, however the more Android develops, the more I start to see similarities with .Net. Both languages have an extensive library of predefined functions to speed up development, both are what I call OO 2.0 languages, embodying and fully embracing object-oriented programming, and, with Froyo, both use just-in-time compilers to run the code.

Fortunately, unlike .Net, one of the requirements to get up and running with a full Android IDE is not a pocket full of bills (or enrollment in a major university's CS program). Android is developed mainly in Eclipse, a development environment that you will form a strong love/hate bond with as your relationship with it grows.
