Are there any sites that offer a free course on basics of this OS?
Being on XDA i do wish I understood the stuff developers post so I don't ask stupid questions that they would rather I find out myself. The thing is that even if I do find out I just dont understand. So I think learning the basics would be great.
Any suggestions?

I have been really getting into Android and rooting. I want to be able to make custom roms... Questions:- What programming languages do you have to know?
How do I start off?
A good question asked. I am also very much interested in ROM-dev. Some dev. may shed some light
Yeah hopefully.... Waiting for some light
Anyone
Someone should answer and help the newbies like us in making custom roms
Newbie
Help us to become develpor any dev please
Anyone
Any dev help us please
You're gonna want to search google for the android sdk, and eclipse, and learn about java. There's also kitchens for rom cooking around, but don't ask me where or how to use them lol. Lurk around the Android forums here on xda, and read up on the stuff you're most interested in doing, be it coding apps, theming, cooking roms, all of the above. You're gonna have to invest a good amount of time to develop any skill at this stuff, it definitely won't happen overnight. Have fun and good luck!

If anyone could help me with where i can get started in deving for epic i would appreciate it I have some background knowledge in going to school for IT major with JAVA programming some in web design html css xhtml dont know if any of this helps or not but I am very quick and an easy learner if anyone can point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.
This is the wrong section for this type of question.
But, read this. Good reading material and it will point you in the right direction.
thanks and sorry
thank you for the link my bad about the wrong sections wasnt sure were it would go if it was a general this is the android development section so i just figured this would be the right place lol.
Post here only if you've developed something
Gotcha

Not trying to bump this... but oh well, lol
although the question should be in general, I vote that the link in the second post be stickied. there are a lot of people (myself included) who would like to start learning how to dev, and to be honest, I didn't even know there was a chef section on XDA (I'm fairly new here, don't kill me, lol).
so I think a perminant link to the list of dev-teaching tools in that post would be a great addition to any dev forum
just my thoughts

Google has pulled the pdk information as it was "misleading" Since that information seemed vital, some more one-on-one help would still be nice. I'm at the beginning of a week off and wanted to dabble as well. I don't have actual programming background, but I figure ways to make things work (hulu on GB ftw!)

I know about the PDK, but there's a lot of good stuff in that link that are relevant. I say spit on it, and slap it to the top of the forum with the other stickies

hey everyone this is my second XDA account i have ever created (i forgot my first username and password) , also i have been flashing android, windows, and jailbreaking iphone my whole life so im not a noob at it, BUT i really wish i could post in the threads that involve the rom that im running, BUT i never completed my 10 posting as a new member of XDA... I rarely post but now i want to get into talking to everyone on XDA because i see that you all are pretty cool lol! i also plan to upload videos of different roms to youtube when i get my cam soon. someone please help me and teach me the XDA forms and how to navigate. pleaseee hahaha!
Well, what kinds of things are you wanting to find in the forums? I may be able to help you...not sure. It really just depends on what you are looking to find. The search function is probably your easiest way of navigating, but you should post about things you are interesting in finding as to get more help.
Hey guys!
Did some some searching around on this site and couldn't even find a mention of my device. I just recently bought a Huawei Y210C android phone. It is a Chinese manufacturer, which might explain the sparsity of information in English about it.
Anyway, about me, I do some programming in Java, and I want to eventually be making android apps. I also want to root my huawei, try some different ROMs on it and stuff. Now, as far as android development goes, I'm a pure beginner. Does it matter that there aren't people talking specifically about my phone, or can I snag some 'how to root' guides from other devices and ROMs, etc., and use them effectively, or would I have to figure out how to root it on my own?
Essentially, what I am asking is: given that there is no sub-forum for my device, and that I'm a dev noob, will I find useful stuff around here?
cheers
For anyone, and everyone , unless your gonna hack XDA, or blow the servers up then NO! otherwise yes, and you are very welcome if you ask me . Always nice seeing another XDA member. You may or may not know shiz about flashing a ROM, or kernel, or unlocking bootloaders, etc, etc, but that's why there are tutorials to get people started
Everything you needed to get started should be here , welcome to XDA

As far as your phone. You can for sure utilize XDA, I just did a search and there's not really much of anything for your phone, but you can for sure still post stuff you make for it on here . I'm pretty sure you could utilize the 'Android Developing and Hacking' or 'Legacy&Low Activity Devices' to post your work for that phone .

XDA is a great information resource for pretty much anything Android related. Being that you have a desire to develop apps I'm 99.9999% positive there is someone on XDA that'll help you out any way they can if you have any questions. In the end though only you can answer your own question. Joining XDA was one of the best choices I have made and now its inspired me to learn the Python language and then I'll tackle Java lol.

Is there anyway that I can learn more about the inner workings of Android? I'm really interested in learning the ins and outs. Rooting, modding, app developing potentially, etc. Is there anyway to start? I want to be able to do things without using tutorials and just know how to do it.

Hello, there,
First off, welcome to XDA! I hope you enjoy your time here.
Now, onto your question, I'd like to point you to XDA University. It has a large amount of easy-to-understand information about all kinds of Android things for beginners. Rooting, ROMs, app development, it's all in there. Go ahead and check out that site.
Quick note, the next time you have a question that is not specifically about the xda-developers website itself, it's best to post your question in the Q&A section instead of here, in the About xda-developers.com section. Thanks!
Regards,

Sorry about the misplacement of the post.
I just want to become more fulent like most people are here on the forum. I read these forums and half the time it might as well be another language. Haha. I'll check out your suggestions. Thank you.
