What do I need to do to get started?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello, I’m Meera

I’m 16 and wanting to build my first app for Andriod, though I’m absolutely clueless in coding/softwares etc however, I love learning and trying new things.

I have a question:

is there anything else I need to download other than Corona SDK to start building? (I’ve looked at the learn page and it mentions text editor and Java, could anyone provide a summary of what that is? Or recommend me reading any book etc more about softwares and how apps work? )

To get started, you will need a text editor.  One that does syntax highlighting, automatic indenting and can show you line numbers is very helpful.  You may need some software to do artwork with.  You will need the Java 6 JRE installed before you can actually build for device.  This guide will get you started:
