never touch java b4, but if possible can give any link regarding the tutorial of java?

yes, android apps are written in Java, if not mistaken just that the VM (Dalvik VM) and API not same thus can apply to android device. Java is portable.. BTW u can try google for Java ebook.. quite a lot on the web..

I am interested to learn and hope can write some apps as hobby. I have laptops and HTC Desire HD.
I learn a bit of Java during college study around 10 years ago but I use VB in my work.
Please update us more details.

hey serious learner here, i will have sem break after this friday for 3 weeks, do let me know ur date and time... thanks in advance

hi, i got netbook and android device.. but dun have java knowledge yet so far.. C++ knowledge can or not?

no laptop
and just studying programming at my college
very blur ><

no laptop, can borrow from friend, one of friend do that too...

May I join ? I pmED u my personal details..

u need to learn Java first...
try this link
http://www.vogella.de/articles/Eclipse/article.html

agree with TS, someone with C+ but doubt abt their ability on java script .....
i bet most them dont even understand what they study

Javascript and Java is totally different things.
Javascript cannot run on its own. Java can be a stand alone application.

Btw, those who truly want to learn Android programming require the knowledge of Type Inference.

You know how to declare variable, but now...you need to know what is Type Inference...

Map<String, List<String>> myMap = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();



Read this
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial...e-instantiation

cheers to my new 5 students...

Havent touched programming in years but I do remember I cant even type my own C++ coding but no problem with JAVA. I think JAVA is definitely easier to learn compared to C++.

hi andrekua, are u serious? can't even type a simple C++ code?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}

still got a place??? i would love to join PM me for detail

hi, cruzzmz, do u fulfilled all the requirement?

do you know what is Class, what is Object, what is subclass?
Interface?

That not much different with high level language vs low level

interested too bad i just started my foundation leading to computing ><

Erm, I mean a full program, not simple one e.g. Data entry program... Dont quite understand how to transfer variables to another working module but in JAVA, it seem much easier. Now all already forgot, hahaha...

hi TS,



Do you know what is this in Java?
how many parameters in this code?

Or
go here to learn up first
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial...epts/index.html

Requirement:

You must be at least 15 years old Surely PASS
Already know "some" Java concept, like extend a Class If i can remember la, count as PASS then
You need a laptop Borrow from my best fren, so PASS then
Android-powered phone (optional, as you can use emulator if your laptop speed is fast) Okay just bought it, okay PASS

Why you want to learn Android?
1. Android is ruling most of the smartphones and tablet pc now in market

3. Lastly, I Love Android duh

hi, bowerchung, you the 2nd last. Count you in.
Date has changed to 30 July. Please take note.

Wao... Free android class... I am firmware engineer who write firmware in C..
If i join, will i understand/learn faster... never touch java.. haha...

hi Java is very different from C. There is a curve learning path.
better learn up Java before come for this class.

am interested too... java very rusty d tho... how do i sign up?

hi, tunasandwish, please read my first post. it is stated clearly there. Thank you.

aww /: Can't you provide online class? >_<

hi, Nels, that's an excellent suggestion. We do plan, but not now. Thank you for sharing.

Hi there, I'm interested to join. Wish to learn how to write an app that uses Google API and database. And I think I fulfill your requirement coz I just did JAVA in one of my modules last sem

All those ppl who say they know C but not java should really consider going for iOS development instead, sicne it's definitely easier for you guys to pick up Objective C than to pick up Java and then to learn about the slight differences between real Java vs the Dalvik VM that just uses Java syntax.

It's really great that you're offering training! Unfortunately I already read about the topics you going to teach on the online android tutorial. Would you go into how to set up Ads and things related to publishing to the Market?

hi there, count you in. Please PM me your details as stated in my first post.

Also.. Oracle is suing Google in a huge lawsuit that might change how Android is used. Depending on the outcome, changes to Dalvik VM might change most of the things in Android.

In any case, online would be a good choice as well as someone suggested. I don't mind joining for an online session even though i've dabble in android up to getting my own mini contact book lol.

i don't mind not accepting you too...

What's with the hostility, all i was implying was that i would join "future" online class if there was, with more intermediate lessons perhaps.. sesh. I said "dabble" means informal, didn't claim i'm expert.

Oh well..my apologise if that offended you or something lol.

May I know the seat is still available? I learn Java before, with Jsp,Java object oriented programming and java servlet..

Ahh~ No more seats already? Was away without internet few days so didn't see your msg T-T
