Well I'm brand new to both Linux and Android. I bought my wife an Android phone about two weeks ago. After falling in love with the platform I started doing some research. Found out it was based on or an extension of the Linux system. Just received the Google app creator (yes, in less than 10 days). Just installed my first ever Linux OS. I'm now trying to learn and understand both as fast as I can.
Any links, or information anyone can send my way for learning and understanding Linux and the Android platform would be appreciated. I have created a couple real basic apps, Google made things real simple with the app creator.
Are there any Android developers on this forum? If so what have you created and/or what are your current projects?
Thanks,
-Par3me
