So I've been given the word: learn android development. Fortunately, my bank gave me a Samsung Galaxy something or other a couple of months ago so I have a handy test-bed I don't care much about.
So, step one seems to be to get a development environment. Or connecting the device to Google so I can get "Apps" and see what everyone does with these things. Perhaps that should be step one.
My first source? Turn to CP. But - take note - I didn't post a Q&A.
I'm just looking at articles and the environments they used. Once I get started on this Sisyphean [^] adventure, I'll get back to you all.
Most likely, in a Soapbox appropriate manner.

I did hear Xamarin is built into VS now, and that it's free. But didn't know about Petzold's book. Back in the days, 'Petzold's book' used to be the windows programming one.

Seems like something I might get installed, anyway, as I'm migrating my work platforms to Win7*. I'll need to check if my MSDN subscription is up-to-date for that. Checking, it seems that it will install on Win7, so I'm OK with your suggestion in that regard. And, of course, there's a world of open source.
For some reason I maintain a bad attitude - like I won't be having fun. A good time for me to be wrong. On the bright side, my progeny will be delighted I can make toys for them. Perhaps I'll even get rich. And famous.
The above notwithstanding, thanks for what could be an all-in-one solution should resource procurement permit.
* I stay with and develop on what everyone (here) uses - thus, as the last XP disappears I'll finally update since I'll have nothing to more to support.

Company has about 450 employees - as of now, this is a voice-from-on-high backroom project. I've no idea how far it needs to be distributed. It would probably be a hook into driving company business - so open-sourcing it would likely not be a problem.
It appears, looking at the site, that these are cloud-based. That makes me want to look elsewhere for an environment.
Thanks again for being a knower-of-things.

Just my thought:
I would feel wary of using VS, I would prefer the official IDE, even though VS is a superior dev env. Simply because Xamarin is an extra layer between you and the OS. I think you would be learning Xamarin and not Android. Which may not be bad, but it did not seem like your original plan.

Well - my personality for development is 'without' frameworks. Apparently (as I'm very much just beginning to learn) Android likes Java, but C++, &etc., can also work, and work better.
Your idea is my preferred target realm: see and know what I'm doing, but I won't discount the other too quickly - I'm part of the VS environment, already, although many versions behind.
Thanks for making me feel a bit less contrary than I thought. For now, however, the hunt is on.

Looking at Eclipse: I can make other use of it at the same time.

I'm in the same boat...have to research android for a new customer who wants to use Kindle Fire's for launching a...never mind...
What I tried:
A few weeks before VS 2015 and Xamarin, I installed Android Studio and using my own Kindle Fire quickly had something working. It's really just Java with some quirks. There's a ton of documentation for android development. It worked, though I still could not figure out how to get something as simple as the user-defined device name. (I gave up and resorted to the wireless adapter mac)
After MS announced Xamarin was part of VS 2015 CE, I installed it and tried my luck there. It was nice to be back in C# but the debugger is a little flaky and caused me hours of cursing and swearing. Once understanding the limitations of the debugger, it has been nice to work with and I prefer it over AS. (for now)

And...it worked first time when I transplanted all the guts!
What really surprised me was the noise!
The old Acer box had a 200W PSU (which wasn't man enough - my fault) with a 4cm cooling fan. The new 500W PSU one has a 12cm fan, the new case has another 12cm fan and it's nearly silent!
(And more importantly, it turns on with the DVD drive connected, and the graphics tablet, and the webcam, and... which the old one didn't!)
Plus the case has a place for the SSD, so that isn't cable tied into position any more, and it's a full height case so one of the monitor leads doesn't have to go through the case and need cardboard insulation to prevent it shorting on the graphics and / or SATA cards... Yay!

Bigger vents tend to run at lower velocities. If they are properly constructed (i.e they do not have low-frequency rattling) they are more silent. Unless you overclock both the CPU and GPU forcing the vent to unleash the power.
Then you'll have a small turbojet taking off under you desk.
