Where shall we start?

Now we know that serious money can be made if we can make a popular app. BUT, where shall we start? 

This is a very big “BUT” but I’ll try to make it simple.

First, you’ll need an idea, ideally, a genuinely killer idea. I know it’s not easy, but at least make it genuine and interesting. To do this, you can check whether there are similar apps available in the market. If there isn’t such an app, BRAVO, you stand a better chance to be success. If there is, you need to be very careful.  Then you can check with your friends to see whether they’ll like an app like that.

Now you have an idea, how to make an app? This is the biggest question for the majority of the readers. And the answer is "It depends".

If you just want to have some fun and make some simply app and earn some side money, you can use one of the websites or app software. Most of these are very easy to use can help you make some straightforward apps but they have very limited function. I am not going to go into much detail of these but I have listed a few if you want to play with them.

If you want to make a career of app making, you need to learn coding and start from the basic. The language used for android apps, in fact android, is JAVA. From today, I’ll start to post JAVA tutorial and hopefully that I can show you all the basics about JAVA until the end of July. 

I know there are tons of materials that you can find on the internet. What I am trying to do here is gather and simplify JAVA material on the web to make it as simple as possible so people have little or no experience can easily follow. 

Let’s all hope that I can achieve this goal.

Note: Most of the material that I am going to post are from web and I'll mark the souce in case you prefer the original.
