[nd] Android question

[Majo no Kiki]

I'm looking for help in learning about Android apps in general.  I see 
this group is not that, but was wondering if you can point me to someone 
who might be interested in helping or propose a class or whatnot.

Quick background: I've been programming since I was 13 for over 20 
years, but then haven't programmed since 1999, and *man* have things 
changed!  I was hoping I could just dive in with a Hello World, but got 
in over my head.  Tutorials are useless.  I really need a tutor who can 
quickly answer simple *general* questions -- I need the *concept* of 
Android, not the minutia.

Any ideas?
