Show HN: My first Android App - written after 14 days of learning how to code :)
I submit it as a proof that in 14 days anyone can become a (crappy) programmer :)
I'm 32, educated in humanities, I work in a bookstore and in my entire life I have never tried programming. Just a typical user, I knew basic HTML, like adding bold to text etc.
Few months ago I started lurking on hackernews, I read about CodeAcademy and decided to learn how to code JavaScript.
Fast-forward 14 days: Wow, it's easier than I thought;)
Here's my first app. It's written in Javascript and compiled in Appcelerator Titanium. It's, uhm, basic and it's a bit crappy, half of the code is copied from different sources found online (Titanium Q&A! love it!) - but it works! It downloads and shows random memes from a number of websites.
Probably it's not the best place to show that kind of stuff, but I'm proud enough to ignore it :)

I was just hoping for more of a detailed explanation of how you went from nothing to an android app.
