Where should I start?

[Novarider]

I want to start developing for android and I need some advice. I am looking for advice on how/where to start. I have never done any programming before other than a few commands in adb to do some stuff to my htc evo and my nook color. I have my computer setup with both windows and ubuntu 10.10 with adb working on both. Any advice would be helpful and please be nice, remember you had to start somewhere to.

To be honest, if you want to do any "real" programming, you will need to take classes, and read books. People make their whole careers out of programming apps and programs, its not something you can just learn in a few hours.

I never said I wanted to learn it in a few hours. I know it will take time and I'm fine with that. I know that everyone on this site creating roms and themes and apps didn't go to school to learn "real" programming. I was looking for recommendations on books that people have read/used that kind of thing. Maybe some helpful websites.
