Reddit reviews Head First Android Development: A Brain-Friendly Guide

Watching Tim Buchalka's course on Udemy. Got it on sale for $12, great value, great support.

I can also recommend Head First Android Development and Android Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide.

My ultimate goal at the moment is to move into a digital nomad type role doing mobile development, preferably for Android.

So, my invisioned path from here is to buy or download some books on Android development and start learning. I've located what seems like a good source (of sources) for learning about Java/Android here, (taken from here)though I don't know because I haven't the links yet.

What is a good (and free) Java / Android Development courses online? Anyone have an opinion on Google's?

Does this path seem good? Should I be considering Java and Android Development the same thing? Thank you!

IS this a good book? ANd whats an OOP concept?

Check out Head First's Android Development. There should be some free pdfs floating around out there.

Also, to go more in depth, check out Fragmented's Activity Lifecycle episode (#76).

I'm a software developer and it sounds like this is going to be a very simple app. I recommend doing it yourself, it will cost you much less than $400, you will learn to do apps and be able to make more and sell them and you will have complete control of your source code.

These two books and a month of studying and playing around later and you've got your app.
