Im interested in learning how to create my own builds using all the necessary tools. I know it wont be easy and will take a lot of time but you have to start sometime! So I was wondering where I can start and if anyone can point me in the right direction. (I know it will take a good knowledge in Linux code and programming.)

Hey all,
I was wondering if you folks could point me in the direction of where to go to learn how to start coding Android?
I consider myself pretty smart when it comes to techie stuff, but programming was never a direction I took.
Now that I am back in school I would like to take some classes to get into this. Any suggestions of the right direction to go to get started? My goal is to start writing apps and maybe have my own custom Rom you all can critique thx

I have an idea for android that could potentially make me millions. However I currently have no experience in coding anything besides basic html templates. Would reading android development for dummies be a good place to start? How complicated is android development?

Picking up a Java Programming for Dummies would also be a good start. The Android Dev site has some good resources aswell, check it out.
I have no knowledge of coding java or android based programs. The official Android development site is kind of complicated. For someone like me I need very clear walkthroughs of the basics until I get the hang of things. Can anyone give me advice or lead me to the right place?
I started off using Greenfoot back when I was a wee little lad. It's probably the most simple way to get into Java and Java concepts.

There is an program currently in beta called App Inventor for people that have Little to no experience with coding. You might want to look into that.

Is that an application, or a better book than the dummies one?

I wanna learn how to build roms. I can image how difficult I must be but I think I can handle it. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can get started?

Learn some java and study the android sdk. Unless you can develop some good applications I wouldn't even try developing roms. People think it's all fun and games, it a lot more time consuming then you think.
Go to the kitchen it shows you the basics and some advanced things.
If you just want to port it isn't that difficult just time consuming. I spend my time their so I can make my own rom as well.

Step 1: Learn android and how it works, as stated before it can be done by learning Java and it's implementation in the Android SDK
Step 2: Learn C/C++ a lot Android and its kernel is actually written in C++
Step 3: Do what Cyanogen said in his post in the Rom Kitchen section of XDA
Any one know where I can find the kitchen

How can i port an existing rom?
That's a very broad question..what device was this originally from? what version/flavor of android is this? Etc.

Yeah Nicgraner is right. We need more info to help. Some phones port well to others with little difficulty. Others, not so much.
Google "dsixda rom kitchen"
What you learn may be helpful.

Well first thank you guys a lot for getting interested in helping me. i know a little bit in basics like rooting and flashing roms but i wanted to know more about how can i make my own rom or at least try to troubleshoot any cooked rom.
Get familiar with logcat, to begin with.
Get familiar with smali/baksmali, decompiling and recompiling Java apps, and Java code for Android in general.
It'll get you half way there.
