Just wondering how all you experienced developers on here started out. I know you have probably been asked many times before but I am genuinely interested.
I am by no means any sort of developer. I first came to this site about two years ago when I first learned of rooting. Prior to that I had no knowledge whatsoever of developing or programming.
However I cant keep off here. Is it something that can be self taught. I would really love to delve into this so that I can start to have a little input into what goes on here and even if its just testing at least I could maybe be of help to someone. I have picked up little bits on how things work but my main question is where would be a good place to start self teaching??? It is becoming somewhat of an interest for me.
Any pointers would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks
If it's apps your interested in then AdamOutler has recently done a great video/article combo which would get you started. Check the portal / youtube channel....

I suppose anything really just to get a basic understanding to start with. I would love eventually to be able to create/modify custom roms ect, but yeah thanks for the pointer.

Well for roms, check if your device is supported by Dsixdas kitchen, if so that's a great place to start tinkering...
If you want to really start making changes to things though your going to need to learn to code to some extent...
Read and search, read and search...
Good luck

If you want a great beginning developer environment, wp7 is the easiest and most user friendly one to dive into.
I taught myself python with old boxed up books from the back rooms of my high school library. Didn't have a computer and did all my work on notebook paper. My first language. So, yeah, you can teach yourself anything.
I'm reading this right now.

Has tons of practical applications.
Might get a kick out of what I'm reading right now:

Well i'm done with the list and ready to take over local frequencies with my own propaganda. read, play good music on pirated radio

Nowhere near an experienced developer, but with a couple of apps and a ROM WIP, the only thing that taught me was xda-tv
Learning to me is just when somebody puts a puzzle in front of you with no clues or guidelines. But you are surrounded by 50k people that you may ask questions (xda).
I just keep trying to solve the puzzle and if I really don't get something I just ask xda.
That's just how I learn. Its how I've always learn. Just dive into it and rip it apart. Think as logically as possible and listen to some cool dub step while doing so for extra learning points.

Hey there coding people! Hi! I'm James, (SpaceGhostInTheMachine) and I joined the XDA community to gain access to one INCREDIBLE knowledge base. You guys, this community.. is the epitome of what it means to be neighborly. It's astonishing to see such an atmosphere here in the interwebs. Most internet people are toxic as you may have witnessed. I am new to the coding world. For the last year I've delved headlong into the CLI and it's languages. The AOSP is still very foreign to me, but I'm getting a bit more familiar with source code everyday. I enjoy working with HMI's and I would like to start designing UX's for IoT hub interfaces and displays. There's so much to learn. I am a multipotentialite or a polymath, not to tout. That just means I know a lot about a lot. Also, means I MUST absorb all the available information pertaining to.. well.. everything. If there's anything I can teach or any way I can help anyone. Call upon me and there are no stupid questions. Only over-complicated solutions to simple problems. Thanks for having me! Take care!
"Hey there,
This is Tom and Andrew, Recognized Contributors on XDA."
Hey Tom, Andrew and every one.
I bumped into XDA first time, as I was trying to calibrate my Galaxy Watch sensors. I'm so amazed by the details available here. Though I never been part of any forum, XDA discussion on that topic gave me such a kick, I want to be part of the forum and I want to contribute, If I could.
Myself, with an Electrical Eng background, spent a good amount of life in EDA ( Electronic Design Automation / VLSI Design ) industry, I spend money to adopt new gadgets created by me fellow Electrical Engineers.
Currently my focus is to reinvent my math skills, to relearn classical mechanics with Lagrangian/Hamiltonian mechanics. My intention behind it is to get into robotics/mechtronics on my own like a college dropout. Let's find out what I would be able to contribute to XDA.... Bye!
Hey their guys, I know I'm a little late to the party but I decided it'd be good to introduce myself to the community.....Sooo Hai I'm Kenji, I'm a guy living and studying in England, I was originally from Japan. My hobby is generally around reverse engineering games and understanding the core structures developers put into place to prevent individuals from having an unfair advantage in games, I started hacking games from early 2015, back when I was a younger sport, I'm currently 21 and I've taken even more interest in Reverse engineering, going into fields such as Malware Analyst. Oh I almost forgot to mention I'm doing a degree in Comp Science. But yeah that's me. I initally joined XDA as I was interested in learning and exploring new areas
Welcome to XDA Forums. Hope you enjoy be in here

Appreciate it whole heartly
How's it going everyone? I look forward to chatting and learning from the people here.
Little about me, I started my real IT interest and pursuit learning to program in C#. Currently I work in the Cyber field but still have a high interest and desire to continue programming.
I love the use of technology for very practical and intended purposes and seeing what new innovations come out.
I'll catch yall on the forums.
Hi, Welcome to XDA and enjoy your journey around the forums!
