Not exactly!! With the latest advancement in technology, your small, stylish and versatile mobile phone has become a power packed computational module capable of doing almost all day to day computing task for average users (you heard me!). Do you know, an average cell phone is about 100 times more powerful than the on-board computers they used in Apollo-11?
Modern mobile devices have become powerful tools that incorporate touchscreen, camera, media players, Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, and Near Field Communications (NFC) hardware. As technology has evolved, mobile phones have become about much more than simply making calls. They've become a self contained hand held computers. You shouldn't be surprised if you find someone driving his Corolla using his smartphone (NASA is even planning to launch Android powered micro satellites!). Possibilities are endless and imagination is infinite! Android is flowing beyond hand-held device territory!
What does it take to become an Android programmer?
Android code is highly based on Java syntax. So if you've programmed in Java before, you'll definitely get an advantage over others.
Personally speaking, if you're familiar with C or OOP language semantics, you'll do just fine. Programming language is no different than your mother tongue. You didn't learn language grammar before you start talking as a kid... did you? For computer languages, all you have to do is to be aware of some very basic semantics and logic operations. You'll learn more and more language features as you dive deeper into programming! Learn by doing- That's our motto! Your learning curve would be flat in the beginning, but believe me, it would get steeper and steeper with time. You'll learn faster and grasp more stuff if you concentrate on language features. Bottom Line: DON'T GIVE UP!! EVER!
Your strong determination would drive you from Noob-land to Expert territory, and if you've read this far, I assume you've got a pretty strong one.
