Android Development

For several projects I currently work on I need to develop an Android application. For me it's a challenging task since I've never developed anything for mobile platforms and to be honest didn't have much programming experience at all. Fortunately I'm not alone and there are plenty of people on internet sharing their experience and tips. Moreover, Google itself provides documentation for Adnroid developers of different levels, starting from the complete beginners like me and professionals.

Here I just want to keep a track of what I've done to learn Android programming and what sources I've used.

So I've started from the obvious step which was taking an online course to cover the basics. I've found Learn Java  from Codecademy. Since I was new to Java it was a good starting point. The course was quite short though and covered only the very basics.

I now moved to another online course I've found from Udacity. Developing Android Apps seems to be exactly what I need. The course was prepared and supported by Google and these guys do know about Android development. Good thing about the course that it's free.
