100 Days of Android

Hi everyone. My name is Alex. I wanted to share with you a side project I have going on right now called 100 Days of Android. I am an interactive and visual designer and finally decided that I want to learn to program.

The website is http://www.100daysofandroid.com.

My goal going into this was to simply see what I could learn in a 100 day time span with roughly 2 hours of learning per day. I did 0 research, and simply started with a Google search, "how to learn Android."

At any rate, I'd love it if some of you followed along. I am hoping that this turns into a mini guide of sorts when I am done that will help future people, or inspire others to just do it.

That's all. If anyone has ideas of really simple apps they would like make, feel free to let me know. By the end of this I am hoping I can tackle some of them. :)

Definitely interested! Can you follow a tumblr blog with RSS or something? Alternatively if I make a tumblr to follow you, anyone else you'd recommend following?

Edit: Feedly handles it great, tumblr question stands though if anyone has any ideas :)
