I am taking a Java Programming course online, and this is the place I was told I would be getting alot of my help from. I was also instructed to introduce myself, so here ya go:
I am a student in between universities, meaning I don't have one. But it's not too bad, I've been trying to slowly teach myself about the Android OS, and very quickly I realized I was going to be severely limited without any programming knowledge. This is my first programming course, but I am very adept at finding a solution to my problems, and have a history in web development, so I am familiar with writing the code, just a different language
I turn 21 in a few weeks, and I will assuredly fail to turn in some assignments for a couple days leading up to and possibly after I turn 21 ;) I have always been the "tech support" guy for my family and friends, and absolutely live and breathe technology. I have never been so passionate about something that I knew so little about, as I am with Android, and communication technologies in general. My only real previous passion was baseball, and I knew the sport inside and out. So, this is unfamiliar territory for me, and I can't wait to start exploring!
I'll be looking forward to working with you guys as I progress through the class!
Welcome to the ranch And good luck ! To help you on your quest, we have some recommended books at the Bunkhouse. Head First Java is one of the highly praised books there.
Welcome to JavaRanch! Feel free to ask any questions you have about programming in Java here. We also have a forum about Android for if you have questions that are specifically about Android.
I've tried programming for the iPhone myself in Objective-C, and for Android in Java, and I like Android much better for programming than the iPhone.
