Recommended tutorials for beginners? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, sorry if this is in the wrong thread!
I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to some brilliant beginners tutorials for developing?
I just can't make heads or tales of how to do stuff, because I can't find a good basis to start on.
Thanks!

Hi
The best thing to do is learn Java. Google Java tutorial and then take your pick from the many thousands that shall appear.
Once you've learned Java then you can go to the android developer site and begin to learn all about how android apps are made.

Thanks for the advice. Got any tips on where I can find good tutorials? The ones I'm finding aren't really tutorials, but more just telling you about programming terminology.

How To Start Coding For Android

I'd like to start writing code for Android games.
I spend most of my free time on XDA, updating my Sensation and reading about the latest Android development. Figure I'd learn how to program, maybe start a future career as a programmer.
Any ideas how to start?

Where to find freelance Devs?

I need some work done....SIMPLE coding work for Android. I would like to explore the notion of making it cross platform to iPhone too. Here is the thing... I am new at Android programming.
I was using Eclipse and found out you could create apps with Adobe Dreamweaver. I started using it as my app is 100% web based and have MOST of it finished. I don't know how to integrate Facebook and Twitter feeds the way I would like. I also have some general questions.
Any idea on where to go to find coders for hire or someone that would help me via teamviewer or something similar? Thanks in advance.
Anyone? Maybe? Thank you.
One final bump.....

Not ashamed of the word cause everyone has to start off somewhere.
Yes I am new to android development and i really could use some pointers.
I have 0 experience with Java ... and i am trying to learn the easy way at least to get me started.
i've heard of a product thats supposed to make things super easy called "Livecode" ... its supposed to be multi-platform and they just released their android version of the product.
please make recommendations / advise.
thank you.
One thing that helped me was the newboston tutorials on youtube

Thanks for the reply, DROIDRAZ.
The thing is i am not too keen on learning java at the moment. That would consume so much time.
I think something like livecode would be a good solution for my current situation.
So before i go and purchase livecode is there anything else like it that you guys may recommend?
I've learn quite a few from newboston YouTube video, as well as from Stackoverflow.
And we have our own forum user creating easy tutorials with explanation for us ->

Android Development

Since this is the android development Q and A section, i believe im in the right place, correct me if im wrong.
just have a question for rom developers, themers and just android development in general.
i have a pretty good idea about compiling and decompiling apks and customizing roms by reading some forums and searching. I know android has tutorials that explain how to do different things.
Also TheNewBoston literally has 200 videos about android development.
How/ where did you you learn android development and making roms/apps?

I'm not a developer or anything, I vaguely understand the Android SDK, but I'm learning using the Training articles on developers.android.com. They're really helpful in understanding some basic stuff!
