I think it’s time to dive right in to my programming project for the year. Enough studying, researching, being scared and testing the waters – I’ve got to do this.

The plan is to create an Android App, written in Java, using Agile Development Methodology. I’ll probably use the cloud for server/storage, Google App Engine, maybe. MySQL for the DB, unless I discover/somebody recommends a better one along the way. What else. I’ll probably need to create some UML Diagrams? Unless there’s a different term for that in Agile circles.

That should cover the basic skills I need to re-learn, after being here in Mainframe Maintenance for so long.

Finally got this thing to work. Stupid Manifest file.

Facebook for Android?? Not quite. Haha.

Whoa, that was fast, I just finished Hello World – then the tutorial made me dive right into all these new types, classes, parameters. Maybe I shouldn’t have skipped the previous tutorials? Good thing that I still remember some Java from back in college – 8 years ago.

ooops.

hahaha! this is fun!

Finally got my IDEs and SDKs and whatnots up and running. There were so much documentation that I just scanned through, I hope I didn’t skip any important parts. But oh well, I really couldn’t wait to start with actual development, so yay! Hello Android World!
