Don't rely on HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript cross platform Hybrid Apps they are very slow and of low quality compare to Native Android.
Take your time and learn Java and Native Android development, it's the best!

I'm Inspired! Thanks

It's for Android and Blackberry

If you know PHP you can understand Java in less than two months! Keep on keeping on you will get there

It's very bad. One thing at a time! Concentration matters a lot!

Don't worry soon you will be a very good Android programmer trust me. Whenever the student is ready the teacher always appears

I am also going to be in Abuja soon

Details soon...

Good to see more Android developers in Nigeria

DharkPoet: Hope I'm not digressing from the main topic, but I guess I could get help here, please the Android Virtual Device takes eternity to load, any solutions to this? and nollyj, do you use the Android Virtual Device, or you test on a physical device straightaway?

Delete the AVD and create another one, increase your RAM depending on the hard disk. If it's still slow reduce the "target" to a lower android version instead of Jellybean V.17. you can create 2 Vitual Devices with different targets to try both and see the speed. Keep on trying things until it get better.

Please how much is the fees for a java related course at Aptech?

I can work with a team if it's PHP

My 3rd Android App is also going to the MTN Challenge. Nice works guyz... I look forward to more Android App Developers in Nigeria

I also have two Android Apps on Google play store!

I am a self taught programmer and I agree that the most productive programmers that are world changers are self taught.

I am an Android developer, I know exactly what you are talking about, we are the future. Programming is the best thing that ever happened to me!

I KNOW PHP VERY WELL BUT MY SITES ON PHP ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE NOW
I AM ON ANDROID SHIT RIGHT NOW, EXCEPT YOU WANNA SEE MY ANDROID APPS

I am a self thought programmer, but I might do 2years Aptech course in thye future just to improve and see the other side of the coin

thenabster: Sweet! I checked out both your apps man. Good job on them. What app are you working on now?

Thanks a lot! Man. My next App is coming soon keep your fingers crossed.

Vijon: hey bro,wht wil it take for one to learn app dev.

All you need is passion and determination, Laptop and internet connection.

Nice one! I also Have two Apps on the Google Play store, I am currently developing my third APP.
Search my name "Gideon George" and see all my Apps.

It's good to see Android developers like me in Nigeria.

paddy4destiny: in summary, your for the money

I don't agree with you. Mine is more of passion because I reject php jobs that will bring money and stick to my Android dev which I'm yet to start making a dime and I am happy about it cos I hav passion.

Go with python, it will help you in the future.

Mine is pure passion, but I need money right now. Without passion no body can do programming. Desire to make big money fuels the passion

@Seun please when are we gonna get the feed back on this? I've got some companies inviting me for a programmer position but IMHO its Nairaland I want, and I am to make my conclusive decision in a week from now. Hope to hear fr u soon.

My intense desire for this will not allow me to rest, I keep on checking for a possible reply to know my stance. I think I need this cos its what I always wanted do. I hope I make it cos I'm already putting my darling Native Android development on hold for Python and SQL.

As an Android developer and a very fast learner that can master python in the shortest time possible, I will apply! I am ready to work fulltime, to build an arganisation. My problem is I love working for very long hours, I don't mind to spend 20hours on the system if I can just have snacks or food, I hate wasting 30min - 1hr going for food. I need not to go away from my system just because I am hungry. I will love to work with other programmers. I love to be a programmer working as a programmer all my life! I know java and have already developed two Android Apps, I can know Python in two weeks and head towards mastery in a month. I am so passionate about programming, It will be a huge dream come true if Seun take me & I am sure he will never regret.

I am very Hardworking but I don't do web any more, I am strictly on Android development right now.
Currently developing my third Android App.

I will love to work as a Android developer.

Blackberry App- Java
iPhone ios App- Objective C
Android App- Java
Windows Mobile App- C#

I am not sure of symbian, I guess it's J2EE or something...I don't have the strength to google it right now.

Programming and App development is better when it's based on Pure passion, the desire to innovate, to create things if you follow your passion you will have a laid down plans to market the App for huge downloads.

You need to have a vision, you need to imagine a position, picture it and work hard towards it. Aint nothing wrong by building an App that Facebook and Google will wanna buy and if you believe in your product and know where you are going, turn them down and get investors to invest where you will be the highest share holder.

The possibilities are Endless! You can make even more than Dangote in the future if you have a plan for that. You are limited only to your own imaginations.
