Re: Sailfish SDK or Tizen SDK
 
If you've developed for Maemo or Harmattan, you'll feel right at home with the Sailfish SDK and start making applications quickly.

The Tizen SDK OTOH is an alien abomination that is squeezed into the much too bloated Eclipse IDE and consists of weird plugins that you're somehow supposed to use for developing with HTML5 and jQuery in a WYSIWYM-style (not WYSIWYG!). The emulator is pretty good, though, but still behind the Sailfish emulator.

If you're coming from WP, iOS, or Android development, you'll sure be hailing the Tizen SDK as the holy grail, but if you've developed for Harmattan or Sailfish before, you wouldn't want to touch it even with a pole IMHO.

Support Jolla, for got sake! Samsung has enought developers, How would endusers even notice your app? Better go for small player to get more attention.

Jolla has a vision. Samsung is just big corporation with only one intrests make as much money as possible to the stockholders without doing anything.

When Jolla has true visionary engineers who want to make difference.

Yeah, Eclipse I really HATE that bloated crap.

Using it at my work because Eclipse is used on lowend embedded ARM platform and really is pain in the arse.

I hope QtCreator in the future can have plugins for embedded lowend toolchains. MentorGraphics (who makes builds for ARM/Coldfire GCC toolchains and pack it with bloated eclipse) should take a look at QtCreator thats for sure...

Please focus on the SDK and not on business, fanboys talk or dreams. We have a other treads with that.

But you are of course free to post whatever you like

You practically begged for it. I'm surprised I was the only one nice enough to abide.

But happy hacking with the SDKs :).

I would not mind to work for Jolla.

Re: Sailfish SDK or Tizen SDK
 
Hey Guys, Just did my first Tizen javascript,Html,Css applications. It can show stock prices for your portfolio. Now I just need a Tizen appstore and translations in some Asian languages IF Tizen going Asia only. Lets hope not.

Tizen SDK is straight forward and so is Sailfish but It's easier to create applications for tizen.
