Apprenticeship

Hello,
I'm relatively new to the Android community however I'm getting really excited over it. I'm planning on getting the MyTouch 3g (HTC Magic) 32B tomorrow and I'd like to make use of it for something other than entertainment. I'd like to learn how to write applications and maybe even ROMs for android phones.
My main question is if any 'good' developer here would take me as an apprentice. I wouldn't mind doing testing and other menial jobs, however I would like to be taught how to create applications and ROMs alike.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any help or direction given.

Have a look here:

You can ask and learn there
Good luck,

Thank you.

[Q] General ROM question.

With so many different roms in the development section, I figured it was time to get my jump in on it. Though this is a basic, I have done a little bit of digging through many threads here, I am still wondering where the best place to start Rom Development is? I have look up a few guides, though pretty much all of them just involve the "Kitchen" which seems a bit basic. I am experience with many distros and concepts of Linux, as well as am developing on the Android Market. So I am not clueless to the entire concept.
I am just wondering where the best place to learn and start is.
Any suggestions are awesome. Thanks guys.

(Q) Developers of ROMs

I was curious, where did you guys learn to build (android) roms? I'm quite interested in becoming a developer myself and am a quick learner. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'm confident with a little help I can learn too. My hope is that I could branch out to some of the less developed for devices on these forums.

The Android Chef Central forum would be a good place to start reading, asking questions, and trying stuff out.
One of the threads there has some good youtube tutorial vids for getting started with ROM building.

To build stock android, the AOSP site has a guide you can follow.

Stating To Develop For Android?

Hello Everybody
First Off... Yes im new, But im not here to just take information and leave, i really want to get into the whole "Developer" scene
YES, I've searched the forums already, but not gotten a pin point answer.
Anyway, I'm COMPLETELY new to programming, I've read around a bit, and i know i need some java knowledge to begin with? So I'm guessing that's my
So i really don't want to lean Too Much Java than needed to android development, or too less in fact.
So im looking for some links to begin with that.
Maybe i could get a step by step list of links that i should go through to begin developing applications for the android platform.
I came across this
[Sorry im not allowed to post links, but its the "Learn Java for Android Development" Series of tutorials on "Mobile tuts+"]
But it seems like its not for the beginner, but im willing to overlook that if you think its a good starting point
Thanks For taking the time to help me

Personally, I would start as simple as possible to get a feel for the whole thing. Maybe something like this: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/android-application-development-for-dummies-cheat-.html This way you get familiar with the whole process, not just how to code.
Just my opinion. Good luck!

I did come here for the same as to be developer and here are some links to begin with the development in Android. These links will provide you insight and good basic examples and also some in-depth knowledge needed for you to develop apps for android.

[Q] Development Help

I'm a software engineering major and I would like to start contributing work to this forum as I have learned basic programming techniques and have learned about the basic android structure over the past ~1.5 years of modding android. I have all the android SDK tools and APK manager. I'm just looking for someone to help me get started into actual ROM Development. I'm a fairly quick learner so it shouldn't take too long. Any help you guys could give me would be wonderful.
Thanks a lot,
Justin
