Database Develop

[Q] Software development

To all programmers,
I am a Young fellow interested in getting into software development. However, I don't know where to begin.. There's C++, java, and python all supposedly good languages to learn (c++ being a bit harder). Which one should i choose.. then I need books, sites, any kind of help/suggestions on the chosen language.. Please enlighten me developers! You all do great work for the community and I thank you for your time and input!

if you are looking for Android
you need Android SDK + Jave eclipse those are important to develop for Android
and there is some more softwares here in the XDA
APKTOOL etc
if you wanna edit apk (XML) Hex Editor is your choise
this is what i know

I was thinking of development I am completely new so perhaps that is the best route to go?

yup , 1st you have to know what is AndroidSDK , visit
code.google.com
and you'll get the basics

I started with vb, then c++, python, fortran, cobal, unix, and now java. Java is what Android apps run on. But vb will give you basic skills. c++ will teach you about everything else. My $.02

Thank you all for your posts now for another question! How did you learn? It looks like ill be messing with a little of all of them though it seems I may focus more on Java. Did you learn with a particular website? Prefered books? Thanks again!

School and old programmers. I could not have learned it from reading a book.

I'm a rather persistent guy.. I think I could learn from a book and perhaps ask a few questions on hereshould the need arise. I have a few friends who have some knowledge as well on the subject. I think I can self teach myself I just need to know some of the sources others have used. like java for dummies if that's any good or for that matter a real book..

Head first Java is a good book for beginners.

If you have no prior experience in programming, I would recommend starting with Visual Basic. The Code Project website is an excellent resource.

And if you are going to start with Visual Basic, then the MSDN website will have tutorials, code examples, etc.

guys he is going to develop for android i (Think) , why the heck he needs visual basic for ? android app only can develop by AndroidSDK and ECLIPSE(JAVA)
visual basic its for pc apps though

You start with basic cause it's just that, basic. Teaches you principle concepts. Things that you would already know if doing java. Taking a java class or reading a java book, they think you already know boolean logic. It's just a good base knowledge set to have.

That's right, forgot about that. Tons of free stuff

so what I'm getting is I should develop on pc first visual basic is a good starter. Interesting, Now I have a few sources on all of them except C++ which though I may not mess with it immediately I may take a peek at it anyways. Glad to know I have same people that know what their talking about helping me out! my friends have limited knowledge.

This is how I started: I originally learnt Java by doing the tutorials on the Sun (I think now Oracle) site. For Android, I did a 'hello world' tutorial on the Android developer site to get a grip on roughly how to get something running. Then I chose an App to make, made some rough designs and just dived in. Like anything else, the first one you do is a mission and after that you've got more of a clue.

I doubt that RSS will help you much. You need to learn Java and a bit of Web development, and also databases. Yes, you need to learn a lot to do a good app for auctions.

[Q] Learn Java - need Tutorials written for Android Studio, instead of Eclipse

I want to learn Java for the purpose of programing Android. I aim to (in my opinion) fix the obvious and glaring faults of the Android OS that make the OS un-desktop friendly for 10 inch Tablet users. LOL..
I notice lots of good places to learn Java for free like the java-made-easy.com site or Udemy.com BUT most if not all of these use the Eclipse IDE and This is my problem. Now that Google has released Android Studio Stable back in December and is encouraging folks to switch to it as the new official IDE - where does this leave a newbie like me? - I cannot find any tutorials for learning Java that are actually designed to work with Android Studio.
This would leave me having to use Eclipse and I am worried if I learn this method I will not be able to transfer my work to Android Studio as well worried I'll be learning an outdated tool/system - if so I'd have to relearn Android Studio's way of doing things that differ from Eclipse... seems like a waste of time.. doing double work.
What should I do? Am I stuck between a rock and a hard place picking the worst time to try to learn Java?
I don't wanna learn the Eclipse way if it's going to be obsolete but there are no tutorials for learning java with Android Studio yet - or are there and I'm just missing them?
Looking forward to your answers, Thank you.

I suggest UdaCity.

Thank you, I'll consider it.
What IDE does it use? I cant tell from the webpage. They have a 14 day trial and then it's $1.99 a month there after.

IDE is Android Studio.
You can register as free account, unless you want to join "assessments required for certification" program or coaching. Checkout the "Terms of service" in sign up dialog. register as "attendee" .
As for what courses do they have, click on "View Courses" in start page.
Enjoy

I attempted to sign up for the free course (Intro to Java Programming - https://www.udacity.com/course/cs046) But there was no option to "join "assessments required for certification" program or coaching" that would have been any different from a "free" account.
In other words your post led me to believe that you could take and complete the whole course for free just without the certification or coaching options - it doesn't look that way. They only type of account I see offered is the 14 day trial. Plus they ask for a credit card, and they are not getting my info. I cannot find an option to only register as an "attendee".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyone else know of any tutorials for free that are designed to work with the new stable version of Android Studio?

It's a regret you can't find the right way to get start! I'll try to explain more clearly.
Most of the courses in Udacity have two choice : "Enrolling in a Course" and "Accessing course material". Select the former means you willing to join the paid course program, hence you got asking credit card etc., In your case, you should select "Accessing course material" which's right below "Enrolling in a Course" and it's the free one.
While some course like "How to use Git and GitHub", you can only see "Accessing course material", see the different?
You should also read "Help and FAQ" to get a better idea of how it work.

I'll look again when I have more time tonight. . --> Thanks.
I signed in with Google instead of registering manually, perhaps that's why I didn't see the options you speak of. :cyclops:
wow, a cyclops. I never saw that one before LOL

Wanna be a Developer

Hi friends,
I like programming...
I'm intrested in making Android apps..
Knows C , C++ and started learning Java.
Any Tips please??
Confused
Wish i can create my on OS some day ​

Getting Started
You are already well on your way knowing some other programming languages and starting with Java. I would go ahead and download Android Studio, which I prefer over Eclipse. Find some tutorials and start going through them step by step (I suggest Vogella). I also recommend The Big Nerd Ranch Guide. It is a great book for getting started. Best of luck to you!

If you already know C and C++ then Java will be piece of cake then. As suggested by other Voggela is nice place to start! Also download Android Studio since Google will stop supporting Eclipse by the end of the year.

New to android studio !!!
Any tips or tricks ???

Are you new to Android Studio or new to Android Development in general ?

New to both !!! ☺? !!!

Java First
Well I suggest first things first with Java Tutorials, have a Google about some online, interactive websites, tutorials etc.
Java is the main language of Android and a reasonable bit of Java will certainly help you first.
Personally I find videos more helpful but it's all up to you.
The Main site of Java tutorials is located at docs.oracle.com.

Okay ... cool !! Thanks buddy !! ☺☺

Tutorialspoint has a good Java guide, check that out.

I learned a lot from youtube. I started learning android development from TheNewBoston youtube channel but it teach using eclipse. So, i started learning android using eclipse.
But after android studio 1.0 release, i transfer to android studio. Slidenerd youtube channel really help me. Beside the Imdian english accents, i love their video.
I still manage my old app using eclipse. But for new app i use Android Studio.

Thanx everyone for your support !!

Mobile App Development Tips for Small Businesses
Today, smartphones really are a requirement. A good range of people tends to be on Smartphone technology for the purpose of doing some of the everyday chores. You can find so many manufacturers of the products; competition out there is quite great. To have an advantage, these companies make sure the products they create are much better than those of the competitors. This is why app development is often a profitable project.

Yeah i know dude !!! Thanks for the info !!

Question
Hi can you help me for my project... I want to create a mobile app which is automatic writing in microsoft word through voice recognition. It may possible to do in eclipse?

Great !!

Just use CodeAcademy.com
As you have an interactive coding tutorial that will make you complete you're lesson before you can continue.

Thank u so much bro !!!??

Hello! I started Android development about a month ago. I had experience with programming especially in C. But Object Oriented Programming was new to me. So I started as people said above with tutorials/books about java. As soon as you get the basic idea of how java works you should continue with tutorials about how an Android program is made. Google's Android development page has a pretty good tutorial and teaches you step by step. If you are bored of reading you can watch videos on YouTube. By the way New Boston recently made new videos about Android Development with Android Studio.
These stuff should be enough to get you all the knowledge you need to build basic android apps. You can search google for some specific functionality you want to add to your app. And of course you can download open source or sample apps so you can see how all these stuff are implemented.
Hope this helps you!

Yeah ! thanks for ur help buddy ! ☺
