Android App development was an intermediate step for me into the world of programming. I have been developing Android apps since at least 2015. I initially got into programming as I wanted to create Minecraft mods, thus I learned Java. Later, I transitioned to developing my own Games, first with Slick2D and then with LibGDX.
