I'll start by explaining my situation, I'm interested in learning to develop for mobile phones. My initial interest was the iPhone, however I do not own a Mac, and due to my dislike for them I decided to hold off pursuing that course of action.
Currently I have my eyes set on two platforms, the BlackBerry and Android, however both use Java which I am not familiar with. I have some knowledge of C/C++(Had just started on classes where I left off) but no knowledge of Java at all. I've got the Android SDK working fine, and have started doing the hello world exercise and whatnot, but my problem now is,when working with Android, how much changes from traditional Java? Am I better off learning the exercises in plain old Java and then moving over to working in Android and learning the differences, or CAN I (I would rather) learn Java while also learning Android. I saw that there were a few books, but I'm not sure that they are suited for beginning Java in Android. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've grabbed a few books on Java, and I'm reading through them (not skimming!) in all of my spare time. I'm first reading "Java for Dummies". I read that it's recommended to read "Head up Java" as a starting place. Since my programming knowledge is still very limited, would this be the best place to start? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
