Programming for Android OS.

I'm interested in dabbling with widgets and apps for the Android OS, since I have my new G1 and love it like ...something really lovable.


Little to no programming experience. Where is a super-awesome place to start?

    Probably with Google's Getting Started page, but I guess that might not make much sense without any prior programming experience.

    I would say the best place to start would be with picking up a good book on Java. You're going to need a good working understanding of the language, and more importantly, the concept of Object-Oriented Programming before you're able to really dive in to the Android SDK and begin writing mobile applications. I'll let someone else recommend a good book to look into, but there are tons of great resources on Java and it should be really easy to get started.

    Sweet, I took a Java class for 2 semesters (but still a complete beginner).
