It was my dream to be a software engineer back once, but now I am a business student.
Well i was looking forward to do some programming on android, like building apps etc.
The question I wanted to ask is that, is development on android easy, like I follow a certain guide and just nail it, as I have no clue of programming, or do I need higher studies for that?

Thank you

There is no one guide that will teach you everything you need to know from A-Z. First you will need to learn Java and then the Android API.

Programming in general is something that you learn by doing. There is no other way. Formal education helps in teaching you the basics as well as software design concepts but there is no substitute for actual practical experience. Lots of programmers are actually self taught.

Anyway if you really want to know about the learning process I suggest you read this article by a great programmer:

Need for Exercises - Miguel de Icaza

Then answer one question using what you learned from that article. What do you think are the things that a person has to do to learn programming?

These are pretty easy to follow and will get you up and running with your apps, I also had my app developed by following the tutorials and learning from various sources, the combined knowledge helped.

The tutorials will help you understand much better and after that it's your own creativity and imagination.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
