Learn Java for Android Development: Lesson 1

Just found this tutorial on the real basics of Java. I must admit that I hope this is a little too simple for my level of understanding but I might read it more thoroughly later just in case. If you know a bit about development but want to brush up on OOP (Object Oriented Programming) concepts, e.g. inheritance, then this might be for you.
Learn Java for Android Development: Lesson 1
I'll keep an eye out to see if they add any more lessons beyond "Lesson 1"
[edit]
I have realised that there are many useful tutorials on this site, it looks like a good place to start mobile tuts+

The beginning

I thought I would write a blog about developing an Android App, or at least trying to develop one. I have seen a couple of other guys do this (e.g. androidblogger) but the one that inspired me was Robert Green.

Let me set out my aims for the app development now and hopefully looking back at this will motivate me to continue when I am suffering from coding blues or bad coding dreams:
  • Develop something fun!
  • Learn how to do it properly
  • Re-ignite my interest in development
  • Create something worth publishing on the Market
  • Get a few downloads
By the way, my other aim is to write some useful things on this blog if you are starting out in app development too!
