Anyone wana start this with me. Might be fun. Ive registered and going through the week 1 part by installing java and stuff.

Hope its easy to learn and hopefully it sticks and i can make "something" lol.

I've tried and failed teaching myself both Python and C++, simply because I get bored after a small amount of time.

I think I'll give it a go! If I can make games pretty fast then it might capture my imagination.

Yeah im curious as to weather or not i can do this as i get bored easily. So far still on installing stuff as had some issues with things like HAXM virtualization not installing due to avast etc.

On to the open project bit now.

Well so far i have installed the needed programs. Used them as in Android Studio. Able to setup a emulated phone with diff os for example. Edit out some code and run it.

Week 1 done i guess.

Use this a few months back as they was uploading the course. Didn't finish it as I wanted more in-depth look into java mobile programming. Did a 14 day trial at Lynda.com on java mobile programming and will turn to FutureLearn in a few weeks.
