What you need for this book

To get started with this book, you need basic knowledge of Java. You should be aware of the OOPS concept and should be able to use loops and define classes. A basic understanding of mobile apps and knowledge of Android would be an added advantage; however, it is not a must. The book provides hands-on experience with writing and executing code. There are some software prerequisites, which are explained in the second chapter, which helps set up the development environment and readies your machine for any future mobile automation work using Appium.
