I'm an Android and Tech lover, but first and foremost I consider myself a creative thinker and entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for ideas of all sizes. I'm a sports lover who cheers for the Orange (College), Ravens (NFL), (Orioles), and Yankees (long story). I live in Baltimore and wear it on my sleeve, with an Under Armour logo. I also love traveling... where do you want to go?

  1. Awesome, I’ve watched the first two so far. /bookmarks

  2. I found that the Android SDK was very simple to use. The developer.android.com site is well laid out, and if you have any experience in Java or c++, it should be a breeze.

  3. What’s with the Apple desktop on those screen shots?!?

  4. Good videos if you want to learn to program for Android.

  5. Welp. I’ve gone through them and made my Hello Android. Nice to have finally done it.

  6. so if i have no programming skills but comeptent at using pc apps, shall i try this?

  7. Do these offer more than your standard “Hello World” variety of tutorials? I’ve been looking for some good resources and books to help me on my Android development journey, but they’re either outdated, under-documented, or very paltry in terms of in-depth coverage. I want something befitting of an aide to a college course. Am I asking too much?

  8. Does ADK/JDK not work on Win 7 64bit or something?

  9. Eclipse is for sissies :-)

    same thing is happening for me, however luckily the Android OS is an open source, i’ve learned a lot of stuff by looking at the code of certain built-in apps such as the camera, give it a try
