Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

Eclipse is an open source IDE that can be used with a variety of languages. It is written in Java, and so is very cross platform. It is especially good for Java and Android development.

• Video tutorials for Java programming in Eclipse This is a great set of video tutorials for absolute beginners, by Mark Dexter. It is an easy way to learn bothe Java and Eclipse. I found these very helpful to get up and going with Java.
• Android Development with Eclipse, by Onur Cinar This book assumes a little more experience than the above set of tutorials, but is specicically for Android, and shows how to use Eclipse nicely with the Android Development Tools.

Videos

• This is a very basic set of 25 tutorials by Level Up Tuts.
• These tutorials by Derek Banas were very helpful to me.
• The New Boston Tutorials There are 200 five to ten minute tutorials. These helped me quite a bit. I wish they had the source code to look at. I found that looking at source code in eclipse is much easier to understand what is going on, because you can hover over methods and read the documentation on them.
• Google's Videos These are from developer conferences, and are generally for more advanced users.
• Android Bootcamp 2012 Tutorial This series of 29 approximately 30 minute tutorials came from the Android Bootcamp.
