Android Study Group - Online Courses, Schools, and Other External Resour

Hello Folks
I'm a well versed Java programmer and have previously learnt some bit of Android Programming from the 1st edition of the Big Nerd Ranch book. But, a lot of time has elapsed since my first reading, so my knowledge of Android Programming is kind of weak.
I would like to setup a study group of aspiring Android Developers who would like to participate via Google Hangouts.
I expect in the study group, that we will read paragraph-by-paragraph and note down important bits.
Having a study group helps in increased retention of study material. Thus this idea.
If you dont have the copy of Big Nerd Ranch Android Programming with you, I am more than willing to offer you a pdf copy.
If you are interested in joining my study group, lets call it "Catfish's Study Group" you need to be on the following timing everyday in a week except Sunday. Each session will be of 3 hours duration:
IST 9PM to 12AM
GMT 3:30PM to 6:30PM
ET 10:30AM to 1:30PM
PT 7:30AM to 10:30AM
Contact me via [email protected]
or my WhatsApp No. +91 8902265616
I plan on beginning the study sessions as soon as I find a few individuals.

Networking, social media, resources, tips, and other info for a design lover!

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.

[Q] Getting back into coding

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.
