Development upcomer

[ryantbdm]

Hey there, I'm 17 and I am an avid Android user. I own a Droid that is running Insanely Clean New Revolution v1.1 a 1.00GHZ kernel. (I can't remember who made the kernel) Any way, the point in this thread is, I would like to become more active in the development community. Now I realize it will be a long road but what are some tips you devs have. Where should I start? Thanks in advance! Hope to hear from you guys.

1. Learn Java (I recommend watch , best around)

2. Download Android SDK

3. Promise Me You Will Not Make & Publish One Of The Following:
- Sexy Girls app
- Sudoku
- Any Kind Of Image Puzzle Game

4. Learn Android Deving (Google did a great job showing what the SDK could do or I HIGHLY recommend this series of books)

5. Make an Application

I recommend you focus on making apps first to get a better understanding of how android works and then move to rom cooking. Although when you feel you wanna take a crack at it, here is a great starting point

Thanks for the information! I actually was about to ask the same question pretty soon. I am also interested in learning to develop on Android. I just bought the book and will start learning Java next week.
