Hi there,

That depends on the applications that you want to build really. Not all applications have to be complicated. In fact, I would suggest try venturing HTML5 and build apps with it. Personally, I have built a number of apps mostly for corporate companies in Malaysia using HTML5. But I'm an underground developer and I code for fun. HTML5 will have limitations, but if you know what you want to build, you will quickly identify if the limitations affect you or not.

Good luck in your adventure

I'd love to develop more android apps/games. However, will have to open a bank account in Singapore in order to transfer out the money in google merchant checkout earned from the apps/games. Malaysia banks doesn't support google merchant yet >_<

i'm lazy, i will just donate.

Hi! I'm Android and iOS developer here.

The Android modification is different with app or games application. I didn't learn how to modify Android kernel or ROM.

If you interested do develop app or games or widget, our government have grant for it. You need to have money to join this programme, after you finish your app, they will reimburse what your pay for the training fee, android device, android developer fee and laptop.

More info: http://www.mscmalaysia.my/icon2/home.htm

For 2012, maybe they will have ICON3, so you can join it. If I hear about the program, I will tell you here.

i always find, its easier to learn a new language by just jumping into and start programming..
most of the things can be found on the internet..the rest is just whether u know how to be flexible..

however, i could never find an idea to develop on...

i wish i could join developer team one day
im currently working in games industry but im at the 3d modeling side
not the programming side
i really wish to learn it as i see nowadays ,artist getting problem communicate with programmer
if 1 ppl can do 2 task , tat will be great in develping games apps

wow lots of pros here, then can I ask smth? I wanted to create a map-type of app (like google map or papago or sygic), but have no idea where to start. any head start guide? =) thx!

edit: I have quite some experience in developing wp7 apps and also java..but had never done such app before though

Maybe you can attend one to three days basic Android Apps training and then you will get idea how to realize your idea.

means u are good with UI design???
i am more familiar with the backend and not UI..one of the reasons why i always find it hard to do things...

any idea where can i got info about it?

Here you go: http://www.itrain.com.my/android/

3 days for RM1,500.

i am interested in android apps but i am sure ios apps structure is similar to android. both uses java codes? does HTML5 apply to android apps?

cannot we just use credit card to make payment? how about paypal?

i can be harkworking, i like to be donated

i like to mod the android system just like Jkay's mod for SG2 (simply awesome, many custom roms rely on it) in XDA.(his latest deluxe setting just came out!!), but still have no idea how smali codes works.

i roughly went through the ICON2 info., is it a full time study? this is my main concern, i have my main job to focus at this time.

appreciate you info. sharing.

i am just doing like you do, haven't gone through any proper software programming training. just find everything from the internet..

i too wish i could join one day..

this is the standard charges?

I'm interested in programming, maybe one day make an app for Android and eventually ROM hacking. I'd love to start from the basics. What language should I invest my time in?

Java? C++? Python?

I heard Java and C++ are about the same (object oriented programming), but one is free and open source, the other requires some licencing (or licensed software) from Big M?

I've had my hands on C. Then tried to follow some Java youtube tutorials but it's just so dizzying...

I had one semester of formal MATLAB lectures though, if that helps...

iOS using Positive C. HTML5 + css + ajax + javascript like Secha Touch and DHTML Touch can run on Android and iOS.
Just 5 days training then you can come to scheduled clinic to help you finishing your app. The clinic is not necessary if you can finish your app without help from your guru.

Don't know. Try google "Android training Malaysia".

This one maybe ok for you: RM900 for two days: http://www.training.my/detailfor/910/Android-Development-

since android app using java then i think u can start with java. Java might be a little bit complicated since it using OOP and u really need to understand the concept of object n class. If u can get past that.. everything should be simple depend on how good u at logic and problem solving..

5 days for me should be no problem. now i am doing self study online first. appreciate if you could update me if icon3 starts.

if u wanna learn mapping, can learn from me.

guys, my 1st ever android app is up at Google Play, refer to 1st post for more information.

-Bugs, Feedbacks or Suggestions for this app are welcome to post here.
-More features are coming..
