I echo what @jvalley said about watching the videos in the Learning Path and the "how to" section gives great tutorials. Eclipse has changed and evolved from past versions. Again, welcome!

If you have an Android device, it's as real as it gets, it's a lot faster, and less troublesome than that pesky emulator. Just my two cents...
