I am currently learning Java using the book: Java, A Beginner's Guide by Herbert Schildt. The purpose of learning Java is to develop Android apps. However I am confused on how to proceed with this. What should I do after completing the book? Is the knowledge enough to start learning Android Development? If yes, then where should I start?
In my opinion you should start coding right now. It is the best way to learn coding. Of course read the book to the end but start making easy apps and follow some tutorials on the internet. Another good position is 'Thinking in Java' by Bruce Eckel.
Try to write easy calculator - first in pure java, next in android.

To contribute something back to the community, i've written a step-by-step guide for installing Android.
It includes picture illustrations and I hope to add to it troubleshooting answers and such.
It's still an on-going project but I hope it will help people to put Android onto their HD2.

I've got a LT15i and I want it to run faster. Some of my apps require root. I don't mind starting from fresh. I'm so confused as to what all these different things are: rooting, firmware, ROM, kernels, zwap and zram. What should I do to make my phone fast and have root?
Ok, easiest way to learn is to search the forum and google for all those key words you listed. Once you know what they are and what they mean when you search the forum or read posts it all make allot more sense.
First learn. Then do. Then make some mistakes. Then learn again
Also don't forget to check out you tube for tutorials, very handy to see how it's done.

Oh and also, this should have been posted in the Q and A topic, not the general topic.

I find it hard to believe that you didn't see this post that is already on the front page...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342278
I can give you this advice...
Go to each S4 subforums and read ALL of the pinned (stickied) threads.
LEARN to use the forums search function
Start reading the "suggested" threads that automatically show up when you start to post a question.
This is the BEST help you will get, ignore it if you want, IDK, but please don't post about it not being helpful if you choose to not follow it.
If you follow the advice, good luck, I'm sure you will get on track.
Thanks

Thank you and I will definitely take you advice! Appreciate this a lot!
Because of forum's limitation, had to post this here, admins please feel free to move it to the dev forum.
I noticed that Android 2.3 is ported to Raspberry Pi and Android 4.0 is being ported. Go to: http://androidpi.wikia.com/wiki/CM7_Compilation and http://androidpi.wikia.com/wiki/Android_Pi_Wiki for more information. I know it has been discussed in the dev's forum, but what are the troubles of porting Android 2.3 to NST? Can't we learn stuff from Razdroid and apply them in NST context?

If you read the discussions in the dev forum then you have your answer as the same question has been asked for android versions for devices much closer to the Nook Touch than the Raspberry Pi.
Im new to this whole rooting deal. Ive been looking on you tube videos on how but the links they put never work. Is there a step by step instructions on how to root my s4.
It depends on what firmware you're on. Stay away from you tube.
First off I would review xda rules/polices as a new member
Second, wouldn't start 2 threads 6 minutes apart in 2 different sections
That said, you need to determine your build first, under phone settings.
The build will determine how to root and what you can and can't do.
Next, read, read, read on xda, not you tube--
There are beginner threads here
Post your phone version and carrier when asking q's. There are several versions on this forum and that also impacts what you can do
Good Luck--:good:
Lastly make backups every step along the way, including your EFS and put them on pc also
