If you want to learn Android programming, you have lots of options. The Internet is full of free resources that promise to teach you the ins and outs of Java and Android programming.
If you are the visual learner, you may find YouTube courses like Derek Banas' Android Development for Beginners the most suitable choice to get started.
Other options include browsing the official Android Developers website, buying Android programming books, or using tutorials published on other sites.
Google announced today that it has published Android courses on the online learning site Udacity. Some of the courses are free provided that you sign up for a free Udacity account first while others are paid.

The beginner course is well done and it even comes with options to download all lessons to the local system so that you can watch them without Internet connection. If you are a complete beginner, you may want to start with that course as it covers basics such as views or layouts, and does not require Android Studio or another programming environment which are often complicated to set up.

this looks useful.
there are plenty of awful android tutorials out there, i assume a google production would be of high quality.
there does seem to be quite a wide gap between the first two courses – the first one is a simple absolute-beginners-to-programming course, and the second assumes a couple of years of java experience.
but i can’t complain – it’s all free, thanks Google, and thanks Martin by bringing this to my attention.
That’s an awesome list of tutorials! Now, I just need to find the time and motivation to learn them. Lastly, a pretty funny screen capture there.
I just started using udacity
