 # Transitioning from Android to Spruce
 
-Android development typically involves Java or Kotlin, while Spruce is a TypeScript-based framework. This guide will help you connect your knowledge of Android development to Spruce's architecture, showing you how to adapt your existing skills to the Spruce environment.
+Android development typically involves Java or Kotlin, while Spruce is a TypeScript-based platform. 
+
+While Android focuses on front-end and does support directly implementing some backend type functionality, most times an Android app is communicating with a remote API to do it's work. Spruce, on the other hand, is a "full-stack platform" that allows for both beautiful UI's and robust back-ends.
