Default I want to get into custom roms development

Well I want to get into android development... But I really don't know where to start...

Is there a guide or something I can look at to learn a little about this?
I'm a programmer but I have never gotten into OS programming nor anything too complex.
O_o

Anyway if someone can help I will really appreciate it

=)

a) If you're a "programmer" then u should either distribute a modified kernel, which frankly we have enough variety of but i dont want to discourage people so....

b) Or you could work on the cyanogenmod team in making it run stable on our phone.

c) Aside from those, you have stock "rom development" which comes down to unpacking, adding/removing, repacking....as ur dealing with proprietary code (closed source).

I'd consider the last option to be a waste of ur talent. Id go with option a/b.
