Thanks for the offer. I've been trying to get started with Android development, but I keep getting stuck in the first stages of learning java. I have worked extensively with C and Matlab before, but I have no idea of OOP concepts. Frustrated with Java, I've been learning Python and that's going along at a nice clip. I really want to get over this hump. I have tried skipping the Java tutorials and directly looking at the source code of applications, and after a month of trying, still can't make head or tail of it. I'd appreciate any pointers you may have.


Buena suerte! You'll ease into it. I have a friend who is struggling with OO as well. He really gets lost in the decoupled nature of the language and development environment.

Take a look at Bruce Eckel's free book "Thinking in Java" (3rd Ed)
