Before you write a single line of Android-specific code, you need a strong foundation in programming logic.
- Learn Kotlin (Mandatory): Kotlin is the modern, preferred language for Android development. Focus heavily on its features (null safety, extension functions, coroutines).
- Master OOP Principles: Understand Object-Oriented Programming: Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Abstraction.
- Version Control (Git): Learn basic Git commands (
commit,push,pull,branch,merge). Every developer uses this.
