Hello guys,

I am a newbie here so it would be great to receive any of your help. I want to learn about Android development. I am kind busy with a full-time job so I figure out I just can only do an online course. Does anyone have recommendation for Android Apps Development online course? Please share your experience. Your help is highly appreciated! Thanks a lot!!!!!

Are you familiar with Java and the Eclipse IDE?

I've downloaded everything to start, but haven't yet. I'd say familiar with Java. I'm comfortable with the programming "mind-set" and really grasp the logic, just have to re-familiarize myself with the sytax. And snives...I looked through that website quickly but it just seems to show how to use Google products in the classroom/workplace, not classes on how to code.

I've got a few app ideas, some just for personal use (like quick calculations for work, etc) and others I'd possibly publish. Once I get more comfortable with how Android works, thinking I'll try my hand at some simple ROMs. This is far off though as I also work full-time, just started my masters, and try to do P90X everyday.

Ah, sorry. I should have checked the link before giving it to you. It used to have convenient links to get straight to free online classes (replicas of actual classes, provided by the profs/schools to get your feet wet and hopefully attend their classes later). They seem to have re-structured the site making that either not directly there anymore, or harder to find.

This looks to be more like what it used to link straight to.

Thank you everyone! These links are very helpful. I will definitely check them out. Actually, I am not that familiar with Java. So, I decided to take an online course at Viope to save time. They just launch their new online Android course and my friend recommended it to me.

Whoa that sounds awesome!

I just took half a course on c++ at educator.com and I really liked it bit didn't have time to Finnish :(

I figured c++ was a good starting point for c# and once I learned c# I could code apps for both android and iPhone using a service which I think is called "mono"

Its a bit expensive but sounds really cool :)
