[Q] Where to start?

Hi im new in this forum, and have been reading alot in the last couple of days and am really impressed how strong the community is here!
In my job i had to programm microprossesors alot (in C and Assembler) and i really liked it and now i wanted to start with programming for android. But i have no ideea where to start because the knowledge here is really high... That is the reason why i have some questions
Wich thread's should i read first? (are the programms needed in that thread?)
Is there a thread where shortcuts are explained?
Or in general with what should i start?
I'm using a HTC desire HD if that makes a diffrenz.
thx for the help and sry for my english havent used it in a while

Your English is better than mine and i'm a native
The only advice i can give right now is to get your post count up so that you're able to post in the Dev sections of the forum!
Welcome aboard.

Hello and welcome to the forums
I myself am also starting to learn programming for Android and here are some good websites to get started.
http://developer.android.com/index.html
http://androidforums.com/application-development/
http://www.anddev.org/
http://www.codinggreenrobots.com/
I would also like to know if there are some books people recommend when getting started for a more structural learning and explaining things in the process.

First thanks for the quick replays.

thx for the links (i cant quote them not enough posts ), so should i go to those websitets to start? Are they more basic information than on this site or is it more to support the information that is on this board?

you need 10 posts to be allowed to post in the dev sec ^^

From one Noob to others!!

First Off, I am a Noob at modding i am learning daily like all the rest of us but I want to give a little advice to my other Noob friends. If you are looking for something on Nvflash or rom instalation help use the search bar at the to of the page first. You will be amazed how much information and detailed instructions there are and probably can get most of the common questions answered faster than waiting on a reply. If your problem is complex then by all means ask away here, this community is awesome and will help you out. I just think searching and reading can help out the congestion of common questions and save the time for the big Ugh Ohs we run into!!!!

This is good advice. We were all noobs at one point or another. If those searching for help and good answers would just take the time to search, read, search and read some more they would most certainly discover that chances are very good someone before them had the very same or simular problem and the solution is most certainly posted somewhere in this forum.
XDA is all about community and the help is there, one only need to search.

Android University

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Androi...09966885752543
This is a project I am starting for a graduate level stat project and a resume booster. The premise is, Facebook can produce a great deal more views and ad potential than any developers site. Don't get me wrong I love XDA but do you think the average person with an average question has any idea where to go. Android University is a common wall Facebook site that will allow for simple questions and answers along with buying advice and non-biased opinions about all Android devices. I would say I am a high level user but I still do not know how to program. However, I am very good at dumbing things down for everybody to understand. Please like my page and ask any questions you may have. I currently own an Inspire 4G and an EVO4G and I have used almost all roms. I am an avid flash junkie and tester. Please help me get this running. You don't have to be my friend to like the page and please be sure to tell friends about the page. Hopefully it will prevent a great deal of simple questions from entering this site. Thank you for your time.

Please come ask questions.

leave the guy alone. He doesnt have to code to be a "high-end user." He said "user" not "rom chef"
Let him do his thing. He's trying to trying to better himself, help newbies, and the XDA and Android community.

Thanks man, ya i've been using android phones for a while now and this is really a facebook site to help frustrated people answer small questions or big questions and offer advice on future products. In all, I hope it can grow and lead to stupid small questions away from this site to allow for greater development without interruption. Thank for any support and kick rocks if you are a hater....

That's because Mr. Noob here doesn't know how to paste a link.

Just go to facebook and search "Android University" if the link doesn't work

Try spending some time reading the forums and getting to know your way around. It's mostly smartphone based queries, obviously, but there's often software development questions in the general forums, and people are always grateful for good advice.
Just get to know the place and see what you can get and what you can give back.
Welcome to xda

your English isn't that bad as mine haha
you will learn everything very easy, it isn't that hard
for which devices do you develop?

[Completed] I'm just starting... Any tips?

Hello there, I'm new to XDAdevelopers forums, and I'm also just starting to learn how to code/program. :fingers-crossed:
I'm planning to head for the Android application projects, and I thought I might as well ask where to start? How did you learn how to code, so that I might begin some-what like that?
I would also like to ask for some tips on which threads I should look at that are already created, if I want help?
Thanks for taking your time to read this thread, please take some time and reply too! :good:
​

A good starting point is XDA University. There's lots of great information there
Good luck
