If you new to programming and wanna get your feet wet, I'd try google's app inventor:
http://www.appinventorbeta.com/about/ It's a graphical tool for making android apps.
If your looking to make more complex apps or games and new to programming, I would get a good book on the java programming language. Android apps are written with java (not the same as javascript). A good java book will help you get the basic's of the language down. I would also look for a book specific to android. Look for a beginners android book. There's also lots of great resources on the web. Some sites with tutorials are:
http://www.anddev.org/index.php If you run into a problem or have a specific question about something there's sites that will help you, like
http://stackoverflow.com/ And don't forget the official android site
http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html Here you can get the SDK and find guides on android.
