Be careful and don’t make conclusions according to one resource because they are not always objective and ready to share full information for free. 
  • Step #2. Research languages that suit your future profession perfectly. You saw the approximate list of languages above but do your research and think what language seems the best for you. How many popular apps use it? How many vacancies with what salaries are available for today?   
  • Step #3. Communicate with friends who already work in this sphere and find out their experience when they were beginners. This step will help you with the final decision about the language and courses. Try to find more than one or two experts among your friends because they could be not objective again.
  • Step #4. Choose more focused long courses with a personal mentor and a lot of homework. Finally, you are ready for long-distance work. Half of the year or even a year according to the functioning capacity you will spend to come closer for a few steps to the profession. It seems long term, but remember that university daily studies require 4 or more years so don’t be afraid and follow your decision.
  • Step #5. Enter the community and ask their opinion and advice about your progress. The great news is that the IT community is truly open to everyone. Don’t be afraid to ask stupid questions of the newbie. Nobody was born with this knowledge. Remember, that even if some people will comment on your posts aggressively, others will help you. Ignore haters and you will find great support. If you don’t have enough support from the open source community – just address a paid programming help service, such as AssignmentCore, for getting your coding assignments done. Make no mistake — we advise you to use this way to become better in Android app programming, not to just delegate all of your work. Here, you will receive help from professional coders, and a fair bidding system will help you to find the most suitable offer. 
  • Step #6. Find a company that is ready for trainees even if they don’t pay. After finishing courses or at the end of them you need practice. Only companies with real cases can give it to you. Try your best and add all your confidence and charm to assure them that you will do your best and your dream is to work with them even as a trainee.

In a half of a year or a year, you are ready to become a member of the world team android developers! Hard work and purposefulness are the main constituents of success. If you add a piece of luck, then your dream to open an IT world is closer than you can imagine.
