Hi I'm a student i have this weard teacher that gave a project about making application i have no back ground on PHP language and she want me make a Mysql php Databes ...Please if any of you knows how to program a PHP language help me ..its only easy for you to do it because its only a lite Program...it's only a simple app with not much more database ...just email me in [email protected] ..thanks..
Please Pro-Programmers help me...some day ill be just like you a professional programmers but now i needed to pass this course
Next semester i will enroll in a class that teaches PHP language so that i'm not struggling to make an app that needed PHP coding ....
PHP is not the language to jump straight into if you have had no experience at all. Getting a grasp of the basic programming concepts might be easier in a language such as Visual Basic as the syntax and concepts in PHP might be quite confusing for a beginner. If you have no experience in scripting, I might also suggest taking a look at JavaScript which is a client-side scripting language, making it limited when compared to PHP. But don’t let that scare you, PHP teaches some great coding habits and if you are capable of picking things up quickly then you should be just fine. Let’s take a little look at the syntax first, here’s how you would create your first PHP language programme:-

Any thoughts on the best books and/or online classes to learn Java and Android developing.
There is one Android class at a UC school by me but it is $650 for like 6 meetings.
Thanks
1) Best source to get started with Java: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
2) For Android, check out "Busy Coder's Guide To Android"
It's not free, but it's not expensive either ($40 for 1 year subscription and updates).
You get 3 books: basic & advanced Android, together with a tutorial.
If found these books very informative and it helped me alot during my first Android application.
Covers up to Android 2.1 API.
Big Java by Cay Horstman is an excellent book and the one my university recommends for our Software Workshop 1 (Java) module.
We're ranked 5th in the UK for computer science so we can't be that wrong
http://www.anddev.org/
Lots and lots of tutorials.
finally a forum dedicated to this...**** yes im excited. now i know what imma be doing in my spare time at school hahahah. i already was on the forums 24/7....
So, is it alright to step directly to android?
Or is it Java first??
I would say Java first...
Another good book: Professional Android Application Development
And don't forget the tutorials and sample code at http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/get.html

The first book above is now into it's second edition which is obviously the one, of the two, to go for given the rate at which Android is changing. I've just bought that & the last edition of Thinking in Java.
Two more great books, they are very good, from the basics up to professional. They are updated with Android version 2 so relatively new:
Apress' Beginning Android 2
http://apress.com/book/view/1430226293
Apress' Pro Android 2
http://apress.com/book/view/1430226595
Oh and Java books are not so mandatory because Android is not REALLY Java, it's Google's own implementation, the basics are Java, but almost
everything is possible without knowing Java and reading these books.

The principal programming language for Android is Java. What you mean perhaps is that Android doesn't use the common Java class libraries such as AWT & Swing, but rather its own.
To code effectively you must understand OOP, the Java language & Android's class libraries. There's no way around that.

Yeah, I know that the programming language is Java. What I mean is if someone has knowledge about OOP and has experience with other programming languages (C++, C#, etc) there is no need to buy a book about Java. Just learn the syntax in 1-2 hour(s). During Android programming you'll be using the Android's classes almost all the time, so it's not the same like really programming some java app from the beginning.
Here is a good set of video tutorials targeted towards programmers that provides a quick down and dirty intro to Android programming and concepts.
http://android.voxisland.com/
I find the biggest challenge having never really learned Java much is learning the Android API. Coming from C the syntax is very familiar.
I am looking to start learning on my own and got this link form Andrew Web.

Anyone have or heard anything about these videos?
Hello,
I am interested in learning how to program for android. I have designed websites, but no experience in programming. I now that this is not a quick thing, but I am able and willing to spend 4-5 hours a day in learning. However, I have no idea where to start, searching the internet overwhelms me with information.
I have a kindle where I could read any books you recommend and obviously I have a computer.
My question is, if anybody could help me to design a pathway to programming Android applications, from basics in programming languages to the usage of the SDK, consisting of book, tutorials, videos etc.
I know it is a crazy intention, but I would be really thankful for any help.
I'm still learning myself but if your totally new to java and all I would start by watching and following the first 15 videos of this playlist here . When you do that then go here.
The first videos help you with setup and give you some java basics that will help you out later. The second starts you off on the fourth video in a playlist that will teach you programing in java.
I would start with plain Java since the foundational knowledge should translate over to Android development. Get familiar with the language syntax and so forth first, then focus on Android APIs later on once you have the basics down.
If your talking about HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) then you couldn't of picked something better to start with, HTML is easy to learn and a great introduction to how lots of things work. So if your looking to learn more languages you should Google some tutorials and find one that suits your style best (I would not recommend video tutorials, its much better to see all the examples and move at your own pace with regular tutorials):thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
HTML is a great start for understanding code in general. After that start looking into java. If you feel confident look into other languages.
Hello, everyone. Can someone please direct me, an absolute beginner with no experience in programming at all, where to begin learning. I would like to ultimately develop for Android.
I'm running Ubuntu 13.04; how can I set up an environment to learn programming, and what are some resources that I can use?
Install jdk on the comp then on your phone download the app learn java in 24 hours it walks you thru making your first program so you get the basics
Hello, I'm pretty much in the same boot as the OP.
I'm working in the medical field and get bored of not having the app I need to ease up paperwork, so I decided to make them myself.
However, exept a hangman game in high school I never coded. So yesterday i took my old laptop, put some Ubuntu on it, the sdk and created the famous "hello word" app.
The problem is, even in the tutorials, some thing were to complicated, so I called upon my cousin (a german develloper) and he gave me some advices.
Especially, he told me that java was maybe not the easiest way to learn to code with 0 background and suggest me to try python and other things.
Do you have advices for me, since I want to build simple app (somes textfields, somes checkboxes to get scores and the ability to export a result sheet in pdf) at first, but i do not want to use app inventor or similar tools since I ultimately want to fiddle with the AOSP agenda (get the contact list to pop up like the invite list when i click "description field" , change default duration of appointements etc...).
Any ideas, suggestions, or tutorial are welcome, just keep in mind that I know nothing (Jon Snow like).

If you want to become a professional android developer then it is advisable to learn Java and XML a bit better,,and there are bunch of resources available on How to build android apps !
If you really want to become a Programmer then it is advisable to start from the beginning i.e C and then Java
Thats how everybody starts learning coding !
Go through video tutorials for understanding how the coding works !
Happy to help !

google it man you will thousands of website which will teach u programming for free. I would have put the links but dont wanna be treated as spammer
For now don't worry about making an app with the Android SDK or anything big like that. Just start simple with some little programs that print stuff into the terminal. It's a good thing that you have Ubuntu because Linux OS's are always great to learn programming on!
I'm also a noon and I found it easy to start with Batch on Windows and I have just been getting better and better!
Well I understand it's not easy to get started. One thing you will have to recognize that there's a lot of things involved getting prepared for Android programming. For example, while developing for Android you will need to be able to write a bit of XML as well, you will need to set up your IDE, get the necessary Java dependencies, get a little bit familiar with Maven to be able to use 3rd party libraries and so on. It's most definitely intimidating. So what I would recommend is to...
- Try to allocate time every day for learning this, even if it just means half an hour or less a day.
- Always take notes and don't be afraid to ask; nobody should assume you know the answer.
- Once you've learned something, help others to get ahead - seniors will probably recognize your efforts so you will be able to get help more easily.
- Try to talk about programming in person with people who are more proficient in it. Nothing helps as much as having a pro sitting in the same room, ready to help you.
- Try to join related communities as well, it can really speed things up.
- Baby steps. Many people get started in programming with having crazy big ideas only to meet failure later. It's not a good thing to frustrate yourself, so choose small goals first.
I can't emphasize the last point enough. Whenever you start learning new stuff - no matter whether you're a novice or an expert - you will need to focus on this, because the initial steps are always problematic. For example, when you start learning a new programming language: the syntax is new, the way for getting the app run is new, the IDE might be new, if the tool is web related then probably it uses a different kind of server than the one you're used to etc. etc. etc. so barriers all around. You must get comfortable with this first, then you will be able to speed things up.
How to start coding
How I started:
Basic Stuff:
1. Java, I used Java Complete Reference
2. Data Structures (most commonly used- Stacks, Queues, Linked list, HashMap, List) [Basic Understanding]
3. Algorithms (will help you to write efficient code) [Basic Understanding]
4. XML, just basic understanding is required, use internet to learn
Android Specific Resources:
1. The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development [Very useful]
2. New Boston Videos
3. Android Cookbook, if you want a solution to a particular problem
Spend more time learning Java and other basic stuff, once your basics are clear, then you can easily adjust yourself on any platform.
Recommendations for Aspiring App Developers
Hi,
I was in your same shoes about 3 years ago so I can tell you what steps I took to start coding. I took the longer route but it was the correct route. Key suggestion is to learn the lower levels of coding first. (lower levels meaning base languages, binary being the lowest). Start with the C language as this is the core programming language which most other higher levels are based on. If you have the money take a structured online course on Udemy or CodeAcademy. If you're short on money and need to learn on your own don't worry there's plenty of resources out there to learn. That's how I did it. Start out with videos on youtube, try to find a complete structured course here's one with over 130 videos. Sorry, can't post links cause I'm new but just go to Youtube and type in "C Programming Complete Tutorial" to get the course with the structured 130+ videos.
The best way to learn any programming language is to find some free source codes in the designated languages and start tinkering, breaking and fixing the code. Once you learn this core language you will be able to programm\ desktop apps, simple software and mobile apps in other higher level programming languages.
Hope this helps.
-Jeff

Hey Guys,
I love thenewboston website that you've pointed us to. But as a first step, should I learn some C or Java before progressing on to thenewboston Android tutorials?
I have no programming experience, but lots of motivation.
Thanks,
Donald,

recommend "head first java"
I am toying with the idea of developing for the Android. It's mostly for fun and to see where it goes. I am a programmer, but do not know Java specifically. If i was to learn Java, i would need to learn it from scratch, but for a programmer, not for a newcomer to the programming field.
I downloaded Android Studio and can follow the guides, but i wonder: Is it better to learn Java first and then Android? Or is it better to learn Android first? And regardless of which, is there a level of basic learning that is "enough" to foray into the other. I ask this because it seems that guides for Android expect one to know Java already. Then again, someone told me he learnt how to do Android, and found Java snippets on the web as he went along.
If there is no specific answer, please lend your advice or personal experience. I am very interested in hearing what other have to say about this.
Do both together
Hey there,
I was a bit worse off than you because the only "programming" experience I had was MS Excel formulas but with some effort now feel pretty good about getting even relatively complicated things working in Android. Basically, I would recommend you learn both Java and Android at the same time.
Here's why:
- you need to get the Android Studio tool set up anyway, and it will do a great job showing you syntax issues and recommending changes as you go. In this way you can rely on Android's developer tools to help you learn basic Java.
- the Internet is chock full of sample code for Android. You can use that as a base, deploy it to a device, change it around, deploy it to a device (or emulator) again, and so on. It will give you both hope and eventual confidence when you're able to see the changes you make in Java actually reflected in an app. It makes it more fun too.
- in the end the majority of your time will be learning the Android SDK frameworks, and I was often able to use the Android documentation examples themselves to teach myself both Java and the Android platform's ins and outs.
Dive in and enjoy!
What are the pros and cons of plain PHP or Classic ASP?
PHP and Classic ASP are server-side scripting languages. What is wrong with having a website written in this instead of the trendy JavaScript Frameworks like React, Angular etc.? If memory serves me correctly, there is an issue with security where you can post in a text box some script and hack into a system.
Can we please discuss some pitfalls or drawbacks to having a website written entirely in PHP or ASP? What does a JavaScript framework or Node.js bring to the table that would otherwise be lacking?
I am just now venturing into a contract where I am tasked with updating and maintaining existing code. All I know right now is that it is written in PHP and Classic ASP. I am in the process of investigating these scripting languages and I want to know what the opinion of other developers are.
