What is the crowd's opinion of Codelearn?

From 3.5 billion comments

It really looks like a high quality title for your first(public) one.Congrats!

I have been introduced to programming for about 2 years(Only c++ and algorithmics) and started learning some C# a month ago.Till now I have done a couple of simple games(Snake, pong, etc.) And today I actually started learning development for Android(Java,XML) in Eclipse. Can you recomand me any good place to start? I found a pretty good site: http://www.codelearn.org/

To be honest, it's very difficult to get into. I've been programming for about 8 years but I've never programmed in Java or any Object Oriented language. It's difficult to understand Android and their framework so you will certainly be kicking yourself and feeling like you want to quit every step of the way (I certainly do).

If you have a couple of bucks to spend, you can try some of the courses on Udemy.com (some are free). They are video courses with someone explaining it along the way. You can try the YouTube channel The New Boston. He's all right but not all too organized I feel like and kind of assumes a little too much about the user. You can try http://www.codelearn.org/android-tutorial as I was using that where it helped you build a twitter app. It's got pretty good information and used to be free, I don't know now.

Other than that, you've really just got to get down and just code.

You can try http://www.codelearn.org/android-tutorial . It does not teach the basic of Java but it is very supportive in terms of telling the exact code that need to be added/edited.

Also you build an app as part of the tutorial. It focuses on the best practices too.

P.S. - It is NOT a video tutorial.
