XDA-University - Sounds cool!

Minor update!

So while just browsing the web the other day I stumbled into a site off of XDA which is one of the more known Android Development Forums. I don't get on there much but after finding out they started an initiative to get an sort of "Virtual School" going for android developers I am kinda enthused to see what it can bring!

With this being said I went to the XDA-U site and signed up to be alerted when it was ready!

If you want to know more head over to: XDA-U

SPOOF: Some Language I used to know


Now and then I think of when I used to code in python.
It was so simple that I thought I had died.
I told myself that it was right for me.
But felt so lonely in the IRC
But that was development and it's an ache I still remember.

You can get addicted to a certain kind of coding.
Like coding android to the end, always the end.
So when I found that I could not make sense
I left that channel with so few of my friends.
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over.

But you didn't have to cut and paste!
Make it like the method never happend an it was over
I dont even need your code, but you treat me like a beggar
and you must feel so tough.

No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have logcat shoot me errors
and then change your ID Number
Guess that I dont need that though
Now your just a language that I used to know.

Now your just a language that I used to know.
Now your just a language that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times eclipse screwed me over
but had me believin it was always something that I'd done
But I dont wanna code that way
Reading into what the errors say
You said the code was good to go
and I wouldn't catch you hung up on some language that you used to know-oh-oh

But you didn't have to cut and paste!
Make it like the method never happend an it was over
I dont even need your code, but you treat me like a beggar
and you must feel so tough.

(Oh)

No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have logcat shoot me errors
and then change your ID Number
Guess that I dont need that though
Now your just a language that I used to know.

language that i used to know
language(Now your just some language that I used to know)
that I used to know
language that I used to know
language (language)(now your just some language that I used to know)
that I used to know

I used to know
that I used to know

Salution Mundo and Hello World!

Hello all,

I am Alex Kollar, and up and coming Android App developer. My father(Kevin Kollar) and I started a company called Lions Images Productions, LLC (Website: Here) to be our hub for our apps and our communications. You all have stumbled into my personal blog. Not that I mind in the least bit.

I had intended this blog to be a hub for my own personal use with Java and Android. As I am still learning and I will never stop learning it would pay to have a nice place to keep all of my work with out the need to have it copied into paper.

Over all I will present a brief recap of the last few months.

It all started around early summer when my father actually pushed me into getting further into programming. I had to this point a fundamental knowledge of what programming was. It was code... I had always been interested in code. So after a few years of being on the shelf I grabbed my Java Books and started going to town. As well as learning from youtube and so on.

Forward a few weeks of learning and I started working on what would be our companies Flagship Application. The Wireless Emergency Breaker Beacon: Silent Guardian. Which is an app version of my fathers Patented WEBB: SG phone modification. (Website and info: here) With the general concept of it being a SILENT means of contacting emergency services in the event of a life threatening situation. Such as Muggings, Rape and other Violent Crimes.

Forward a few weeks after that we made our way to Philly for a news meeting with fox29 about the app and two weeks later it was broadcast. Thus signalling the official start of Lions Images Productions, LLC.

As time went on I started to get better at what I was doing or at least I feel I am getting better. However I want to have a place I can record my findings and other such things as related to my code and growing skills in code. Which lands us where we are now on this blog looking at this almost blank space...

So what to expect out of this blog:

  • Code... first and Foremost... lots of code
  • Personal musings and things of that nature
  • I tend to write programming related spoof(And original) songs / Poems, so expect them.
  • As well as what ever else comes along.
Expect a good bit in here over time.

Thanks for dropping in!
