[Introductions] Hello XDA! - Introductions

Hey there coding people! Hi! I'm James, (SpaceGhostInTheMachine) and I joined the XDA community to gain access to one INCREDIBLE knowledge base. You guys, this community.. is the epitome of what it means to be neighborly. It's astonishing to see such an atmosphere here in the interwebs. Most internet people are toxic as you may have witnessed. I am new to the coding world. For the last year I've delved headlong into the CLI and it's languages. The AOSP is still very foreign to me, but I'm getting a bit more familiar with source code everyday. I enjoy working with HMI's and I would like to start designing UX's for IoT hub interfaces and displays. There's so much to learn. I am a multipotentialite or a polymath, not to tout. That just means I know a lot about a lot. Also, means I MUST absorb all the available information pertaining to.. well.. everything. If there's anything I can teach or any way I can help anyone. Call upon me and there are no stupid questions. Only over-complicated solutions to simple problems. Thanks for having me! Take care!

question for experienced developers.

This thread is to all the wonderful developers out there.
I have been enjoying this site since my introduction to the smart phone world. Over the past few months, it has been very helpful with my cdma hero and lust for mods and roms. Now for the question...
What is the best way to learn the arts of software design, coding, and everything you all do on this site. I would like to learn all of this, but just don't know where or how to start.
Any and all advice would be appreciated.
Thanks a bunch.
(And I hope this is in the correct forum. Still a wet behind the ears noob. Lol)
cooking a rom
and programming a program
or making a theme / skin
are very different animals
maybe you should spc. what your ambitions are
because focusing on your interest will give you a short time to get somewhere

Rudegar is correct. Focus on one topic/subject at a time, then start to read the guides on this. For example, if you are looking to cook your own rom, then there are guides/kitchens to help you
Thanks guys. I will look into the guides.
On another note. Lets say one wanted to get into the profession of designing software. Whats the best course for that? Traditional 4 year college?

Also depends on what area you are looking at, i.e. whether you're looking at computer programming (source coding), software engineering, game designing etc
Plenty of courses at universities, tech's or even by reading up on source material and experimenting with basic programmes and apps for your mobile

Looking for a web developer that is interested in a business idea

Hey everyone,
I figured that if I need a developer that is as passionate about mobile technology as I am, this is the best place to come. I have a business proposition. And if there are multiple people interested I am more than willing to organize a group for this purpose. I have a great idea, and know what I want. However I need a business partner that has the technical skills to setup a website. I will be able to tell more after, if you are interested, have signed a NDA. The idea is first and foremost dealing with Android, but will eventually encompass most major mobile OS.
If you are interested in hearing me out please contact me at [email protected]
I have a dream and a passion and would love to find someone equally excited about the above mentioned topics.
You ask yourself why am I coming here? Because I am asking initially for your most important resource, which is time. But together we can leverage that time into a good capital, which I hope will be able to benefit all developers.
Thanks,
Hans-Erik Stegeby

Hello XDA!! :)

Hello XDA! I hope everyone's having a good time. This is Monis. I am a content curator, curious cat and a technology enthusiast (i.e I like to leverage tech to read between the lines and solve problems).
I've been coming here for a while now trying to learn how to use an android to its best potential. I finally found the courage to join and introduce myself.
I hope to learn as much as I can in the coming weeks from developers across this board and contribute where I can.
I am currently focusing on developing applications as a hobbyist and getting to know more about open source.
I need help in getting to know more about open source forums and real world problems that can be solved so that we don't have to reinvent the wheel again and again.
I hope to have a good time here and contribute to the best of my abilities.
Good day!

Hello and welcome Monis!
you came to the right place.
enjoy!

Hello to all of you

First of all, I want to thank all of you moderators, developers, modders and long term user out there to maintain this giant project.
I visited this site multiple times per year - for nearly a decade now, finally I made an account.
Long life to XDA, thanks again to all contributors.
Now to myself:
Mainly I code stuff for my company and worked for some bigger company (90+ people) in my country (as a software developer).
I played around and extended an emulator for a game, had the only public test server for it for a while, where people could fool around and I could learn and gain experience in programming and reverse engineering (2007+).
Am also fooling around in setting up my own linux distribution, there are already a few things finished, a few people are using it already, that and some other projects will be published some time soon or hopefully this year haha. A few things still need to be done to be able to do that.
Some of it also includes the pinephone and some other open devices.
I hope you all have a great time and thanks for reading this.
Greetings Archantium
Edit: edited some grammar mistakes and added some missing words
Welcome to XDA! Nice to have all your experience here on the Development forums! Enjoy
Regards

Greetings XDA

Hello all, Not a lot to say about my self really. I am just another individual coasting through life. I've visited somewhat frequently here as a nameless lurker absorbing the knowledge of you brilliant minds. Not until recently had I felt inclined to post with a registered account. I am a hobbyist in both software and hardware. Don't want to overplay my skill level with any kind of title as I haven't yet earned those wings but I do occasionally have a mote of genius and attempt to help out anonymously but I've never been certified, nor employed as any type of programmer or engineer. I hope to expand my understanding mostly of mobile phone/tablet and laptop modding going forward but can't guarantee how much time I have to devote to any projects due to life in general. I at least hope to contribute something in my free time. Anyhow, look forward to getting to know some of you.
Glad to have you aboard XDA mate! Continue to enjoy the forums information!
Cheers
