We are still in development phase, but I would kindly ask you for feedback. We are looking to hear from potential users...
Classai helps you learn new skill faster, better and to actually understand what you have learned. Learners are able to post private classes for any software language or tools such as web development, design, game and software development, audio & video,mobile applications or even operating system troubleshoots. It is not only for beginners, you can post class for any development problem you are facing. Teachers are able to make professional profiles, bid on jobs, and in that way compete with other bidders. When learner award teachers with job, they can connect trough screenshare application and have private class. They are also connected trough video, audio and they can record lesson. After the class is over, learner release payment and teachers gets 85% of free, Classai takes only 15% commision.

Hey guys and some girls,
I'm doing research for a school project regarding usability. the idea was to figure out what makes a certain product so great. being a proud owner of a adroid device I thought, why would someone choose android. so what im doing now is a survey to see why people choose Android.
I'm calling out to every person that reads this (from noob to dev) this gives me a great idea why people should choose android. every answer is valuable to me and wil help me very much. this is my final project for my graduation. so please help me out here.
Thank you for your time.
Hi, coming from a student game programmer background, I've also studied about usability during school. From my experience and knowledge, what makes a product so great is that it is easy to pick up (learn) and easy to use. For example, Apple products. With just one or two clicks you get the response that you want.
Here's another example: Angry birds. It's "Great" because it's easy to learn how to play it and the game is also easy to play (can be played without remembering stuffs like numbers in a bank game).
Hello,
First things first, thank you for clicking on the link.
I am a computer science major about 1/3 of the way through my educational career. I have been exploring opportunities each summer through internships and volunteerism how to be a better programmer and become more pragmatic in my approach. Recently, I have drawn up ideas for a UX design concept. Obviously, since I am a noob developer and know nothing about GUI (my classes in school completely skip over this section and it has always interested me). The most I have done was take a data structures and algorithms class which is like intermediate java. I have html experience as well and just started css course in code academy.
I figured this would be the best place to ask since it is a pretty large community of well-versed developers; not just for android but for the windows 8 and apple platforms as well.
What books, websites, mentors do you recommend I learn from in order to enhance my skillset so that I may implement these design concepts I have come up with. Honestly, they are all ideas on paper right now. I want to even slightly implement them so any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

I would suggest you try Human-Computer Interaction on coursera. Its a free course conducted by a professor from Stanford through the coursera platform. It'll give you a basic understanding of UX, UI and interaction. The course may feel a bit rushed because the assignments may take some time to do. This of course, depends on individuals so some people may not feel rushed and some may feel they need more than the allocated time. It takes about 9 weeks to complete. The latest offering just finished but there should be another one being offered in september or so.
This course is not a certified course and will not gain you credit though. Even so, I feel its one of the best courses on coursera. I know i gained a lot from it. You could read up about it and use the "watchlist" feature so you'll know when the next offering is. Here's the link:

First, I'd like to thank you for reading this post. I will try to shove all of my thoughts into as little space as possible. My name is Chasity and I am the girl behind Beyoutiful Designs( Android and digital customization). As of right now, Beyoutiful Designs has only Go SMS Pro themes on Google Play and distributes free wallpapers, Facebook and G+ covers, Twitter Headers, and things of that nature on a blog, Facebook page, G+ business page, Twitter, and Instagram. I began Beyoutiful Designs from a passion and with a dream. A young mother of five taking a leap of faith in making a career for her family out of a love for design. I am completely self educated and continue to seek more, learn more, and know more. I am far from where my dream lies.
Throughout this journey, so far, I have ran into a few difficulties. I struggle to find resources, make connections with others who share my passion, gain followers/likes or visitors to my site, as well as receiving downloads and ratings or reviews on Google Play.
As for my struggle to find resources, I am unsure of what I am found wrong in my search efforts. I should have a massive amount more than I do after all of the countless hours I have spent researching.
Although I am far from my best ability, I do know that my work is of good quality. I always put my all in my work and I place heart in every detail. And I genuinely care. The few ratings and responses I have gotten have been high. 4.75 being my lowest. I have reached out to the few I could find in my niche with little connection made. I've spent a great deal of time. I keep falling short.
This is another outreach attempt. I'm posting here today because I am seeking resources to further educate myself and better my work. ANY material is appreciated tremendously. I am not restricted to any one area of design. I came interested in information such as:
Design materials and elements
Selling wallpapers on Google Play or a blog
Go SMS themes
Go contact themes
Social media
UCCW Widgets
Free WordPress design
Custom fonts
Tips on making profiles/blogs pretty
Fb covers and design
Finding & building connections with other designers
G+ covers and design
Google Play discover ability
AGAIN, THANK YOU! HAVE A BEYOUTIFUL DAY!

Learn Some Coding Basics and Become a Famous Developer!

Learn Some Coding Basics and Become a Famous Developer!
Many of us would love to become famous programmers like XDA’s Senior Recognized Developers. But coding isn’t easy, and you need to know the basics and have a working knowledge of whatever language you choose before even getting started. And of course, writing a simple “Hello world!” app is not enough, as you will have to look deeper to create more complicated functions.
If you are looking a good place to begin, you should take a look at the guide written by XDA Senior Member Dark Wraith, who gathered some useful information together and wrote a handy guide with commands for many popular languages like C, C++, Java, Python, and BASH.
With the instructions provided in the thread and added acquired knowledge, you will be able to understand the structure of each language better and hopefully create your first application or modify your favorite ROM. With this guide, you will be also able to edit the overclocking settings and governors of kernels, which is a good practice for the C language.
Dreams sometimes come true, so if you want to start your developer career, make your way to the guide thread and hone your coding skills. We all want to wish you good luck!

Thank you very much for taking the time to help.

Hello App developers!
Hello, my name is Tivone Wright, and two other friends and me are starting up a really amazing company. We are now in the beginning phase of starting this company, and the idea of this company is to be flexible. I am a 19 year old programmer/CEO (they agreed to allow me to become it). I will be running this business, and going to college at the same time. Some of you may ask yourself, "Uhm...is he serious? That is impossible for anyone to do." Well as it may seem it is impossible, it is not for me. I halted all college activities to pursue technology because I would literally give everything up for it. It is my one true love, and is why I am starting up my own business. Now, portfolio will depend if you are interested. "That does not make any sense what he just said." Well you see, the idea of this company is to be flexible (my workers will soon have to work at an establishment, but if not, then online work is just as good as physical work). As this company will become more mature in its pre-mature stage, you will understand the overall point of this company. For now, we (yes this company is a team effort and shines because of it) must build a base. We must create software that has not been created yet, and soon enough hardware too. I ask those who want to see the future, their creations, their ideas, the impossible unfold in front of their eyes to join my business. How will pay work? I will make it worth your wild. Programmers, I too am a programmer, so I will be working along side with my employees, my friends, and my team. CEO's make a lot of money, but I am willing to sacrifice some of my earnings to see my fellow friends happy. I want to see my dream flourish, and as you read this, I hope you do too. Now, the plan is to create on both Android, and (kills me to say this) IOS markets. We will strike both at similar games. Not only that, but unique and beautiful task apps. This company will also contribute to XDA atmosphere. That's right custom rom devs, a department for you too. Once my company hits the hardware mark, then we shall create smartphones that is by default rooted. If you are interested, then contact me through:

Don't believe I am a programmer?
public class MySurfaceView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
//I'll keep this simple
private final Context context;
public MySurfaceView(Context context, Attrib attrib){
this.context = context;
SurfaceHolder holder = getHolder();
holder.addCallback(new Handler(){
@override
public void messages(){
}
});
}
Now, I am need of in specific:
C/C#/C++ programmers
Java programmers(android base language)
HTML programmers(to build a website since this is going to be major)
Web designers(CSS programmers)
PhP programmers
Graphic Designers
Game Developers
Also the best part........Amateur - Master programmers.
Moderators I hope I did not break any rules while creating this thread, but if I did, do close this thread and give me some idea to where I should put a post like this(Thank you)
Sincerely,
(CEO)Tivone Chris Wright
Go for it man! Dont let anyone tell you that you can't do it! Especially when learning code, learning a computer language (especially by your self) makes you feel like you can achieve anything that you try hard enough for

Yup I have been learning languages by myself. I love it and I want to start an early career at it. My hope is that this business will pick up in a month with, or without help. I've struggled majority of my life and to be honest, a business in the technology field will be the only thing to make me happy. Are you a programmer?
Me too! I learned HTML and php a while back by my self, then started with java but never really did anything until recently I just back into programing and hopefully one day when I'm confident enough I'll join a team!
And I understand when you say that it will be the only think that will make you happy! The way I see it if you tough your self at a young age (like I did too xD) then something tells me you'll be motivated and dedicated enough to achieve greatness in this field
Oh yeah I picked marketing up by simply observing human transactions and thing of the fundamentals of marketing. Sir, since you are starting back, I would love to have you on my team. My friends and I would teach you everything, even on android.
Haha I love the offer I really do! Just the reason why I haven't been giving it my 100% is because of school! I have to finish writing up a few academic papers then I'll be focusing all my efforts on developing
You have my contact information. My business picks up and when you are ready, just email of Facebook chat me.
Will do! Thanks for the offer
Update(in case anyone thinks this is fake(ha)) my team now consist of eight members. Anyone else want to take advantage of this offer?

Moderator close this thread please. I decided to do my project by myself. Thank you sir.
I haven't coded properly (as in actually delivering a useful product) for probably 15 years. I do really enjoy coding and plan to do it as a hobby for a while, building to the point where I have a useful skillset when I retire in 10 years. Partly for earning potential but mostly to keep myself mentally engaged.
I have done plenty of coding over the years but it's been a while. I understand OO, I have C# and Java basics but not current platform and IDE knowledge. I can deal with the basics of DB design, know a little about networking, but know next to nothing about mobile app development and deployment. I have a specific project in mind for the next couple of years which will require a central DB, mobile clients for data submission and verification and browser-based reports. Mobile platforms will include IOS and Android and they'll cater for local data acquisition and forwarding when connection is available.
I'm looking for recommendations for the best way to get started, ease myself back into it. I'd much rather start on Android than IOS (hence posting here). I wouldn't really care if the next few years efforts were throwaway work - it's regaining the experience that matters.
