Total Beginner- Android Programming. Part 4
Posted by Danpereda in News Jul 6th, 2009 | 2 responses
When I started on this adventure to learn Java and in turn learn android I thought this journey was going to be easy. My assumptions were based on the fact that I had previous programming experience. Granted that experience was well over 10 years ago and involved QBasic, Pascal, and Visual Basic.
Java and object-oriented programming are difficult and confusing subjects to master. I am continuing on my journey and I am fully dedicated to teaching myself the skills. The time involved in this endeavor is much greater than I anticipated.
My advice to anyone trying to accomplish this task without a solid programming background, is to seek out a classroom environment or a dedicated friend/tutor. Another requirement for this endeavor is lots and lots and lots of coffee.
I will keep you updated…

Hi there, fun to read your quest to learn Android. I seem to be in the same situation as you where, I learned visual basic about 10 years ago, and did some asp web programming and have some SQL experience but never wrote one line of object oriented code.
Do you still recommend ‘Head First Java, 2nd Edition’ to start my own quest? I would like to be able to create some simple Android apps, and since I’m out of a job, I have plenty of time now…
Andreas,
I think it got me in the right Direction to build an Android App. Now if you looking to learn programming to better your career chances, I might think of learning something different from Java right now.
