So you want to learn programming?

Pick a starting language. For beginners, there are generally two recommended "programming families" that you can choose to start learning:
-Dynamically typed/interpreted programming languages, such as: Python, Perl, Ruby
-Statically typed/compiled programming languages, such as: C, C++, C#

These are amongst the most popular languages in use worldwide, including 4 from the top 5. Both approaches are perfectly fine, and well-documented.
-Dynamically typed programming may be a bit more flexible, convenient, and forgiving. It is more popular in academia.
-Statically typed programming is a bit more suited for making general applications. It is more popular in industries.

Cannot decide? Flip a coin.

If you choose statically typed/compiled programming, you may want to start with C, then pick up C++. C is very well documented, and teaches many universal programming concepts. C++ is based on C, and adds new concepts. Sources:
For C:

If you choose dynamically typed/interpreted programming, you may want to start with Python. It is very easy to pick up. Here are some good sources:

Sure, if you like. But the languages above are considered good for beginners.

>BUT I WANNA MAKE A COOL WEBSITE!
Learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

puzzle alarm clock has a option to open an App after the Alarm.

Just use it to open your calender

Kek I made that exact app for myself, except it turns on my PC with Wake on lan
I integrated it with the default Android alarm clock so I don't need to set my alarm somewhere else, it's pretty neat.
If you want I can send you the code

good one broe, this is how its meant to be done

>>60805041
Perl is an example of "Dynamically typed/interpreted programming languages".

>>60803923
Then you will have to cost 300 hours at least

>>60803949
ATTENTION BEFORE DOING ANY OF THIS

learn lisp first

This would be easier done with Tasker or something like that. Plus, an automation app would teach you the logic behind programming without having to learn useless apis that you would never use again.

This sounds good but I'm an idiot so who knows.

You need to program and alarm using the AlarmManager class. The alarm manager would then call a broadcast receiver that shows a notification, and when the user presses the notification then the activity (aka screen) opens.

Be advised: google fucked the API to schedule an alarm at an exact point in time, because they said that every app firing alarms randomly fucks battery. So they made all alarms inexact by default, and then provided a new API to schedule exact alarms again, but even then you might have to disable doze for the app in settings.
