Want to start with Android App development

[sameerjoshi1]

Hello I am also new to android world. Actually I'm am planning to dive into application development.

Can anyone recommend some good starting points for Android App development (besides some youtube tutorials)
as getting from the start & Having no real background in programming
aside from making some adventures on (ZX-81 and MSX), this does sound like I could get started on developing
something for my own Android based eBook reader and android apps, even this online course
which I came across was ( http://www.wiziq.com/course/13599-professional-android-app-development-training-1-on-1-sessions )
Professional Android App Development Training. I am really much worrying though to where to start from.

If my basics are not so good, then I have start all over again? or there's some other way out. I am worrying though!
Please do provide a light on this also

well, I'm not a pro developer either, but I can recommend a few things...

Pluralsight provides really good screencasts about Android Development. You can be a pro I think.

There are some good books. For instance, you may start with "Android for Dummies". I have finished that book. It's pretty nice. After this book -if you need- you may start the advanced ones.

That's all in mind for now.

Thanks a lot 🙂

I found perfect site for creating apps...Yesterday I ended up on some site called apps-machine.com . I have to share it with you guys. I started creating my own app and after 15 minutes clicking on their control panel(no programming,just clicks) I made app in what user could make effects on their photos,paint photos,play music,play videos,have notepad,chat and stream music. They got literally 1000's of features on their control panel 😄 I think this could be a gold mine 😛 😛 And I read something that they have free app development and so on. Aaand you can change everything all the backgrounds,colors,tabs...and you instantly see it on that same page through their simulator..don't know how they managed to do that but it is super handy...I am super excited at the moment..time to get some apps on apple and play store 😄 😄
