I literally have no experience with any sort of coding or programming, but I'm a bit interested in making a game for Android. Where do I start?
Learning java.
All apps are written in Java.
Just google for some tutorial.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good website or websites with basic resources on how to create programs for a Windows Mobile device? I've used C++ and Java, but nothing along the lines of the .Net framework, or anything related to Windows Mobile, so I'm really looking for something that just spells it out in pretty simple language for complete beginners. I've been looking into the website provided by Microsoft, but of course it is more targeted towards professional developers, and is admittedly slightly over my head.
My school has an agreement with Microsoft to supply Visual Studio for free to the students to encourage such exploration into WinMo (and...many other platforms) development. But, I'm not a computer sciences student so I don't have any training using it. Plus, I only want to code for fun. : )
I figured ya'll would be the best people to ask, as xda seems to be the place for skilled developers to hang out.
Thanks!

Check this out. The tutorials are well put together, and will definitely get you started. Personally, I found that up to about Lesson 3 or 4, you can get away without having any programming knowledge. After that, it does help to have some basic knowledge in programming in C#. If you want to learn about C# MSDN has a ton of good video tutorials on learning C#.
Hope that helps!
If you download the SDK for the various versions of windows mobile, they also create sample directories, which have lots of examples of C++, C#, some VB, as complete VS projects.
They may be a bit more advanced than tutorial level, but they are superb examples of MS stock 'how to do it', code. Time spent studying and unravelling them is well worth the effort.
Hey Guys,
I wanted to devolp my first Game under Android but,
But I don't exactly knew in which language i should programming it,
basicly it should be a 2D sidescrolling Hack'n Slay like Maple Stirues, so i think C++ and Java (for the controls) would be great, or?
Go for Java. However, if you're considering producing (iPad) web apps it may be advantageous to get to grips with HTML5.0 and XHTML.
Ok it should be for android, so it will be Java, do you know with what i should start first, when i want to prgramming a Game in Java? Maybe the Javabesics?
read the book Core Java, then understand the way android apps working, maybe read some kinds like head first android or other things.
I have a strong background of 6 years in Java, I cannot find the book I used my freshman year of college for Java but I have read Head First in Java. It was really nice. Every book will have downfalls because everyone has a different learning perspective. Some people can mentally grasp how certain things work, some people need visualization.
For developing on Android, I recommend purchasing the book Hello, Android. I have found this book to be very nice in creating your first android application. In the first few chapters, you will create a fully working Sudoku Game. It also has some small stuff on Widgets and Live Wallpapers.
Hope these help, best of luck!
In school I learned c#, and made a Java course on youtube (programming methodology, Stanford).
Now I'd be interested in anything that would get me started on the way of creating android apps.
A video course would be welcomed the most, but I'd apprericate any books that you found useful, or even sites/blogs.
Hello XDA community,
I am hoping to get advice from others who have already been in my shoes. My goal is to learn how to write code for Android Apps using Java. I have a good background in C++. Mainly from my college classes, not from actual development. This summer I will start an internship where we will be involved in projects that involve Android Programming. I am trying to get a head start and hopefully have a basic app put on the play store by summer.
To reiterate, I do know how to prgram and have a solid background in Object Oriented Programming Languages, I just need to learn Java, and Android.
So my real question is , what would you guys recommend as the best resources. Whether it be online classes, or just documentation that can walk me through doing it on my own. I just feel kind of lost trying to find all of this on my own. I am a full time student so I am just trying not to waste any time on things like just finding a good resource.
Any help would be appreciated guys, thanks in advance.
I'm starting college this month for IT and taking elective to support programming. Does anyone out there have any good advice for someone looking to get into programming?
Definitely learn an objective based language and ruby or python are great learning languages.
I started with python on code academy and then went to java. python is the best way to learn the basic syntaxes of programming.
