Thank you, xda-developers, for a great resource.

Hi all!
i have a little blog at mywinmo.com.
I plan to write about my favorite hobby, all windows mobile related there ! ( yes i stubbornly refuse to go apple )
While my passion is there, i still have a full time job and i get very tired.
As the blog is already done and i do have some contents there, i do get daily search engine traffic.. well i would love for them to read good stuff, stuff we see here from the experts in XDA.
If you have a passion about all things WM, and you love to write. I hope you can guest post at my blog.
While i cannot offer you any monetary rewards, i can credit your work to you or link to your website / blog.
Hope to hear from you soon
( If you have a freeware you want me to introduce, let me know too. Will be most happy to do so if it is indeed useful to all )
Cheers!!!
no guest poster is too simple.. even if you have a simple topic, no problem as long as it is useful for the reader!!!
( mods i know this is the same as the one in off topic, but i thought i will get more views here. i need the exposure. if you object, hope you can delete the one in off topic instead. thanks mods )
a small bum...
The subject says most of it really. I'm looking for a book that will teach me to develop for the Android market. A book for beginners. The kind of book with lessons, tasks, examples etc..
I'm a complete novice when it comes to Android Development, I've no understanding of the Java programming language at all and only minimal xml knowledge. However I am very good with computers and learn quick, I've got the time the patience and the motivation + (a Samsung Nexus S & a HTC Desire S).
I know it takes time and practise but its something I really want to learn and have plenty of time on my hands at the moment.
I've done webdesign so understand html, css, online shopping carts etc.. not that that's going to help me a lot.
Maybe I'll need a couple of books one for Java and another for Android please provide your thoughts on this.
Any suggestions maybe with links (if allowed) would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

First it all, I apologize for using this forum for this search. But I don't ask for replies or comments in this forum, send an email to [email protected] if you feel you are a good fit. We'll take it from there, I need somebody with experience in Android development:
Data entry forms/activities
Local database (SQL medium level)
Eclipse and Android plug-in
Good humor and working on heavy work load environments
Dare to work with new Android technology
The interviews are not going to be easy, no fakes or wanna bees please. Save your time and mine if you are not a fit for this.
And again, you can ignore this posting if it doesn't concern you please.
Hello. I am starting to learn how to develop apps for smartphones, i have tons of ideas but onlu basic knowlage in C++, java and other languages used for creating them. Could some one help me to decide for which platform i should start? I want to start from easiest developing interface (i liked iOS, wp7), cheapest price in order to publish my app and when you do answer please tell me why (other pluses that i didn't highlighted and minuses). Thank you for your help and if i posted on the wrong section please move my thread. Oh and i am a student so if there are any discounts like for wp7 free access for students then do mind that too
so noone can help me?
Not sure myself
But I think Dreamspark has the tutorials to help you develop and you can go form there, I am interested as well just don't have the time.
Hello all! I'm new to this wonderful forum and community so please spare me if I've done, or said anything stupid. :crying:
I am interesting in developing applications for Android. I do understand that developing apps for any device/software is a challenging task. Especially with Android (I think) since it's such a diverse amount of devices, screen resolutions, capabilities, etc. What I'm hoping to do is to build a somewhat simple app, targeted at business owners, or folks who sell merchandise, and so on. It's supposed to have tabs set up for certain folks/companies. I'll spare the details about the app I want to make. Bottom line is, I want to start off with that 'simple' app and move on to a game for my second app. I know that I won't be a huge hit or any of the sort. But before I begin to develop, I have some questions that I hope can be answered here.
Here are my questions, please be patient with me, and to all mods/admins, I'm sorry if I've violated any rules by posting this up. I couldn't find any decent answers that'll help me out.
1. What Operating System is considered to be "better" for developing Android apps, and why?
2. How do I go on testing my app, do I use my own phone, or are there any great emulators out there that can emulate/simulate a real phone very well?
3. Where would you recommend me, a complete noob, on developing? I know I can look this up on my own, so I don't mind if this question isn't answered. I just want to find some guides that actually explain why things were done, what it's supposed to teach and so on.
4. This question is the one that worries me the most, and I understand it might start some debate () so please, be respectful. :laugh: I'm not a legal US resident, citizen, or any of the sort. I'm currently seeing a lawyer to apply for Deferred Action. But I'm worried that it might be illegal for me to publish apps on the Google Play store. /: Does anybody know if it's it legal for a 16 year old, illegal immigrant (USA) to publish apps on the app store?
Sorry guys, I really want to know. >.< So... BUMP
