In this tutorial I will cover pretty much everything there is to know about how to make Android apps. Videos will focus on explaining the major topics in easy to understand ways. I’ll also make a bunch of apps.
Every article can be found below with a description. The videos are structured so that the videos will work on their own, but also as courseware that provides a complete understanding of Android. Continue reading Android Studio Tutorials So Far
Today I make 2 of my favorite recipes. I make a vegan meat marinara sauce with homemade noodles. As wonderful as pasta is homemade noodles, made with just 3 ingredients, is absolutely amazing! I then make a mushroom risotto that is creamy and amazing.
The fake meatloaf recipe can be doubled in size to make vegan meatballs, or just meat loaf. We also make vegetable stock and much more. Continue reading Low Fat Vegan Recipes 3
In this video I complete the Android Translation app! I provide both an Android Text to Speech Example as well as a Speech to Text example. I also review how to use Spinners.
By the end we will be able to say a phrase, translate it into multiple different languages and then press a button and have those translated phrases speak. All of the code follows the video below. Continue reading How to Make Android Apps 16
In this video I’ll take the Android Translation app I made in part 14 and now get it to parse XML data. I’m also going to add the ability to provide XML from the web service I made in part 5 of my web services tutorial.
This is an example of the techniques I use to make a professional app. We need to use multiple languages like Java, PHP and MySQL. All of the code in the video follows below. Feel free to do anything with it. Continue reading How to Make Android Apps 15
In this tutorial I’ll provide you with an Android Translation App example program. I’ll use the translation web service I built in parts 4, 5 and 6 of my web services video tutorial. I’ll also show how to parse JSON data in an Android app.
Everything has been kept as easy to make as possible and all of the code follows the video below with many comments. Continue reading How to Make Android Apps 14
Here is my 4 part Git video tutorial all on one page. I cover the different types of version control. We look at the difference between modified, staged and committed. We install and set everything up for Windows, OSX and Linux. I go over using VIM and show how to set up other editors. Then I cover the commands init, add, commit, status, diff, rm, log and pretty much everything else.
I hope everyone finds this useful. Continue reading Git Video Tutorial

In this tutorial I complete my Translation Web Service Example. If you want the whole database to use in any way it is here. All of the code can be found down below. As well if you want to test the web service find out how to translate “I like dogs and cats” here.
This is a transliteration web service in which it directly translates from one word to another. It isn’t perfect, but it is the best I could do in 2 hours. I hope you find it useful. Continue reading Web Services Tutorial 6
I was asked to make some more recipe videos and I’m always happy to do that! This time I’ll show my favorite low fat vegan recipes. I’ll load these recipes with vegetables and keep the fat to nearly zero.

The voting is in and by a wide majority you all asked for another Android app contest! Take a look at the rules below for your chance to win both a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch. I pay for shipping to any place in the world.
All you have to do is to make an Android app using any tools you have available. I’ll probably also provide free publicity for the best apps submitted.
In this tutorial I start building a common request being a Translation Web Service. This will allow you to translate into up to 44 different languages. I also cover how to use UTF-8 encoding with MySQL and PHP.
In this video I set up the database and create all of the functions we will eventually use with our web service. You can download the 6000 + word language files here. All of the code follows the video. Continue reading Web Services Tutorial 4
In this part of my web services tutorial, I provide both a non-WSDL SOAP server and a REST Web Service Example program. The goal is to keep everything simple and easy to understand because many people are confused by both.
I decided to avoid covering WSDL (Web Service Description Language) because it is very common for these to be generated by software. I also decided to focus on just the GET method with REST because it is most commonly used. Continue reading Web Services Tutorial 3
In this part of my web services tutorial I cover 2 ways to create XML from a database. I then show a simple example on how Remote Procedure Calls work.
If you missed the previous web services tutorial, where I showed how to work with JSON data, you should watch that first. All of the code used in this video can be found below. Continue reading Web Services Tutorial 2
In my web services tutorial I will cover generating JSON and XML. We’ll then walk through examples in which we use REST, SOAP and RPC (Remote Procedure Calls). We’ll pull data from databases and if you haven’t seen them I have videos on PHP, MySQL and using PHP with MySQL.
Here I’ll focus on how JSON is structured and demonstrate how to pull data from MySQL and then generate and decode JSON using PHP. The code follows the video. Continue reading Web Services Tutorial
Sorry I haven’t made any videos for a while. I just wanted everyone to know I have an eye infection and I’ll continue the tutorials as soon as I’m well. Hopefully that will be this weekend 🙂
Previously I covered the vast majority of both PHP and MySQL in 2 videos. This time I decided to bridge the gap and show how to simply grab data from and edit data in a MySQL database using PHP.
We specifically cover creating users with limited access for security reasons, setting up secure database connections, pulling data from a database, adding data to the database and prepared statements. All of the code follows the video below. Continue reading PHP MySQL Tutorial
I have one more Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch left to give away. I decided I’d let everyone vote on what the last contest should be. I’d like it to be a skill based contest so that the prize doesn’t go to somebody randomly though.
I’ve had videos based on app design, artistic skills, app design and funny videos. It has been a lot of fun having these contests. Thank you for everyone that has participated.
Please leave your suggestions in the comment section below. The final contest will be based on what ever you all vote for.
Everyone on Earth has the opportunity to enter as long as I can get the prize to you. I pay for shipping and everything else. Feel free to share this opportunity with others. [googleplusone]
