Database [SERIES][LIST][GUIDE][TUT][UPDATE 5] Developer 101

Hello Friends


INTRODUCTION



We all go to schools and colleges and probably have loadz of subjects to study. . Each subject has a prescribed text book to refer. In the end, we have to study all those text books. But, what if, all the important content from various books is available in only one book ? Of course, it would be huge, but it would be very helpful




DEVELOPER 101



This series will contain 101 links to helpful links, guides, tutorials, FROM ALL OVER XDA and the INTERNET to help you overcome any problem on your own.(HOPE SO) ( huh ! Sounds like a lot of work to me ! ) ( I first thought of 1001, but then that would be a daunting task ! )

I will be updating it once or twice weekly, to keep the thread rolling.
I am not much of a dev like Maclaw or Squadzone , though I know my basics and can provide some good suggestions and timely advice to people.
As you all know in any FIFA video-game, you begin your journey as a basic footballer and ascend to the level of a Club Manager. In a similar way, this thread, will help you ascend from a beginner to a good developer, or least,inspire to do some good work
So, I am beginning this thread firstly with all the basics like rooting etc and ascending to the level of tree'ing your own rom.

If you want me add some thing, just post it in the thread or you can PM me. I would need all the help to complete such a big project. I have created a section regarding this thread so as to include some stuff that I have created myself.

So, Help me to wipe out the noob's off this forum with this massive guide. Thank you.



ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


I sincerely thank all the people, in helping me complete this work. Thank You.
