If i wanted to make an operating system for the nook from scratch, what language would I need to start making one: java, c (i know some general hardware firmwares are made in c), or would i need some form of assembly? I have lots of time on my hands so I would like to see if I could learn the prerequisite computer languages and implement my own operating system not starting off with android or linux, and it would serve more as a proof of concept thing.
C++

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?

What is the best program to use to start creating apps for android if you are a beginner? I tried Appsbar, but it won't let you insert ads.

If you're new to programming in general, try App Inventor;

Not sure if you can do Ads or not.

Well, you can't do ads in AppInventor. Haven't tried Appsbar yet.
And you can't post to market from app inventor.
Thanks for trying though.
Any other suggestions?

I don't know of any tool other than appinventor that lets you create apps without getting down and dirty with the java code. If you're serious about developing android apps you need to bite the bullet and learn java and then pick an IDE and work thru some tutorials.
Two popular IDE's are Eclipse;
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
and Intellij;
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
You can find directions for setting up Eclipse on my blog linked below.

Dalvik is the process virtual machine (VM) in Google's Android operating system. It is the software that runs the apps on Android devices. Dalvik is thus an integral part of Android, which is typically used on mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers and netbooks. Programs are commonly written in a dialect of Java and compiled to bytecode. Then they are converted from Java Virtual Machine-compatible .class files to Dalvik-compatible .dex (Dalvik Executable) files before installation on a device. The compact Dalvik Executable format is designed to be suitable for systems that are constrained in terms of memory and processor speed.
Dalvik is open-source software. It was originally written by Dan Bornstein, who named it after the fishing village of Dalvík in Eyjafjörður, Iceland, where some of his ancestors lived.
Thanks for the informative post! Very interesting reading

because the majority of people dont take the time to doa little research. you could have this posted a thousand different places and somebody will still ask. a prime example is the guides in this forum....there is one in about every section for flashing various files but yet dev threads get clogged with "coming from build x, do i need to wipe data" or "which cwm do i use for x rom". it is what it is and probably wont change anytime soon.
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew the programming lang that u use when coding apps for android . I got a c++ book from library but I'm thinking its not what I need . I want to get started and try to do apps .

1. Java.
2. Official Docs.
3. StackOverflow.
4. Google.
Good luck!
I've always said anybody can learn to program... once people find that out i'll be out of a job
Google has some good documentation on getting started:
developer.android.com/about/start.html
I'd also recommend finding a good 'learn to program android' website and work through the tutorials (there are quite a few).
Have Fun!

It will not work with c++. Better you start learning java and xml and devlop simple apps. Java will be used to implement logical part in your app, XMl will be used for designing your application.
It can't hurt to learn C++, its a great language to pick up on. But if your looking to make android apps/games I would suggest Java, it can be used on so many platforms and is a big "all around" language. Good luck!

I'm in the same situation as thread starter and after weeks of trying to come to a conclusion I still haven't landed on a decision.
20 years ago I used to program in basic and was quite good at it, then career choice and personal life took over and I haven't programmed since. With the possibilities that Android gives I want to get back into programming to make some job related apps on my spare time, now fairly well what the end result should be, but to get there is another thing.
I see you mention Java and that is the one language I have scrapped during my research due to all the security issues with the language the last couple of years, could anyone or yourself please elaborate on why Java is a good choice, besides "all around" language?
Forgive the n00b-ish question, but we all have to start somewhere.

at least some of them) for now you can also code your apps in c++, c# or even javascirpt. But i believe java is the most documented language for desining android applications.
Learn Java first. That's the best one to develop apps for Android. Though you can always use c++ via ports available or c++ with qt.
Also I would suggest you to use Eclipse as the IDE because Android Studio is quite buggy and for the most time you will be just resolving issues with it.
For learning, android developer is the best source also you can refer to kilo bolt. It had good tutorials on Android and Java.

I know Apple needs developers to be a part of the iOS Developer Program or Mac Developer Program to acquire several solutions and am interested in knowing how to start.
What tools are needed for making my first app with Xcode and how would I start to become a developer using Apple's tools?

I have knowledge using C and C++ and its basic functions.
I meant to say c++, but pretty much. Just google it. It's not that hard wants you get the hang of it. That's what I'm going to school for.

Googling it would be the best option! Opinions can be misleading. I have a certification in ios developer program from Cestar College Toronto but still many doubts regarding this pops up in my mind and Google is where I go to all the time!
Yeah iOS is a pain in the butt to learn. But Google is your friend.
