Hey, the videos are more technical information. You don't actually have to know all that. Its good to do so, but not necessary. Thats the beauty of Buzztouch. You can actually have zero programing knowledge and still be able to develop great apps. Plus, this forum is super helpful. Have fun. Cheers. Miguel

@Fishcake- Use the forums and the How-to's section. Both are incredibly helpful.

It can be tough, but like others have said, that video really digs in to show you what's going on behind the scenes. The great thing about Buzztouch is that they take care of all that for you. Since you've moved on to Android, check out this "from BT control panel to Emulator" video. It should let you know what you're in for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV3Ofi2602I&feature=c4-overview&list=UUbL5gei-5kK8hHf5q3andnw If you get stuck on anything, just give a shout! We're here to help! Mark

Awh hi everyone, thanks lots for the encouragement. I guess what i should of included is that im a learner who learns by doing, so because i cant work in xcode (no mac only pc) then android is where i should shine, got the eclipse software so should be able to start work and progress after each vid. Thanks for the link Mark, will have a look. cheers for the info guys. V much appreciated. Ace!! :)

Yeah I learn my doing too. Fortunately I had a Mac before finding Buzztouch. Hang in there...Android isn't all bad either. It will get even better when the new update comes out from Buzztouch. Although I suggest looking into Android Studio instead of Eclipse. Especially if you're just starting out ... that seems to be the future of Android development.

Android Studio is indeed an option. I haven't had much luck with it, and it should be noted that Android Studio is still in beta, which means it can be pretty unstable. Plus, there aren't a lot of BT-Android Studio tutorials around yet. Aside from that, though...it's certainly worth a shot! Mark

I've found it to be more stable than Eclipse actually. It's gone through quite a few updates since they announced it. But yeah, if you're following along on BT tutorials, you'll have a more challenging time since they are all Eclipse-based
