Android Development

[nabeel1124]

It was my dream to be a software engineer back once, but now I am a business student.
Well i was looking forward to do some programming on android, like building apps etc.
The question I wanted to ask is that, is development on android easy, like I follow a certain guide and just nail it, as I have no clue of programming, or do I need higher studies for that?

Thank you

There is no one guide that will teach you everything you need to know from A-Z. First you will need to learn Java and then the Android API.

Programming in general is something that you learn by doing. There is no other way. Formal education helps in teaching you the basics as well as software design concepts but there is no substitute for actual practical experience. Lots of programmers are actually self taught.

Anyway if you really want to know about the learning process I suggest you read this article by a great programmer:

Need for Exercises - Miguel de Icaza

Then answer one question using what you learned from that article. What do you think are the things that a person has to do to learn programming?

Here this will help you as it did help me:

Android Application Development Tutorials - YouTube

These are pretty easy to follow and will get you up and running with your apps, I also had my app developed by following the tutorials and learning from various sources, the combined knowledge helped.

The tutorials will help you understand much better and after that it's your own creativity and imagination.
