Apps Development Tutorials

I couldnt help but notice that this forum has the description of "development tutorials" yet, its all questions and no tutorials. I think that we should have two different sections for this, both could be under Developer 101, but one be Tutorials and other be Questions. Also expanding on this, due to the epic lack of tutorials, I will be creating tutorials in between projects of mine (or just when I get bored of/frustrated with working on my current project ) and I have two open source projects posted on my development website, but I will turn them into either tutorials or c/p code snipits (no-brain required tutorials).

If you have an idea for a specific tutorial, let me know and I'd be happy to try and create one, or figure out how to make one for you. If you agree with this, leave a post and let me know! maybe with enough people we can get Developer 101 split into two forums, to create this part of the forum a little more organized
 
Definitely a good idea to have part of the forum dedicated to tutorials only ;-)

And then we all need to contribute with tutorials :-)

Easiest way is to use a PHP file located on the server that the android app makes an HttpPost to and receives the requested data back as a JSON string. Then, you can just parse the JSON string to get the data you want.
 
That sounds very easy, but for someone that has no idea how to do it that is complicated. Can you please help me. Where do i start?
