What's the best way to learn android for someone with no previous programming experience? [closed]

Question

I really want to get into android programming and I've already read two books and a lot of the stuff that is going on here. Thanks a lot. This site has already become my very favorite resource. Anyhow, does somebody have any additional tips on how to accelerate the time to take off? Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

That's like wanting to jump straight into a Formula 1 car and race in a Grand Prix before you've ever had even a single lesson driving a regular car. First tackle some basic non-Android programming. It's "just Java", and there's lots you can do with Java without having to deal with the Android platform on top of everything else.

Especially if you've never programmed before. Get the core programming concepts clear in your head first, then work your way up to a specific platform.

Answer 2

I started out reading a couple of books, but didnt feel I got into programming fast enough. So I just dove into it and started making a simple app and then googled (and used stack overflow) ALOT when I needed help..

I suggest following the tutorials and guides on http://developer.android.com and just jump into it
