Google has already underlined its presence at the Game Developers Conference thanks to its early bird giveaway of Nexus Ones and Motorola Droids.
With the show kicking off next week, it's now focusing on the information dump it's going to give developers.
"Our presence at GDC is intended to provide developers everything they need to get started with the platform," says Chris Pruett on the Android Developers' blog.
Android team engineers will be on-hand at the show to answer questions, and there are various technical sessions.
Going Google
Pruett himself will be kicking off proceedings with Bootstrapping Games on Android - everything you need to know about games on Android in 60 minutes - from 1:45pm in room 309, South Hall on Tuesday 9th March.
