Re: I Want to develop apps but have no Developing/C++ skills
 

Indeed. But it is also incredibly rewarding. C is a bit ugly, but writting good C++ really is a beautiful experience. I wouldn't start with C++, but if one likes to develop, I would advise him to learn and do some Qt/C++ soon enough.
Also, joining a C++ project can be much easier than setting one from scratch.

funny but it's a joke ;)

C++ is not hard to learn (well, that's before one delves into the depth of C++11 for example). But writing good code in it is harder to learn, since C++ allows for more pitfalls with raw pointers and the like than languages which hide memory management. But it shouldn't stop one from learning it.

Lot of parts of Maemo 5 are written in C (not C++) because it more using Gtk (as Qt).

I'm suggesting to start writing in python. It is easier as C/C++.

Re: I Want to develop apps but have no Developing/C++ skills
 

Of course it was. It was an exegeration to show, how far one could go in: "learn that first, before you can start with ...". Formal RAMs (like Turing machines) are used to proof things, rather than to explain assembler language. To make that evident, I added the logspace part.

No, C is a lot more complicated than assembler to learn. and if you havent learned both then you shouldnt talk about assembler unless you want to be a troll that argues about stuff you dont understand...

None of them are suitable for a beginner today, but since C is so complicated with both its similarity to a highlevellanguage , and its dependancy on lowlevel knowledge to fully understand it, it gets very complicated and a lot of stuff may not behave as expected in normal highlevellanguages like for example python, where the dependancy of the lowlevel stuff is well hidden.. .

PS, i learned assembler (or actually ML) on the rca 1802 processor, as my first programminglanguage , on a computer quite similar to this http://www.sparetimegizmos.com/Hardware/Elf2K.htm

Re: I Want to develop apps but have no Developing/C++ skills
 

highly recommended to start by using Python and PyQT combo first. much easier to keep the motivation and get something done first. go into C/C++ when you feel you have all the time in the world and feel you want more challenge and have more demands from your device.

iv learnt C programming bt im pretty sure i dnt knw hw to apply it..so my question is tht is ther a program tht u wil need to develop apps for maemo? using C

Re: I Want to develop apps but have no Developing/C++ skills
 

Dude, c'mon, you're not even close. The K & R bible brought C to the masses. Nothing brought assembly to the masses. For good reason.

Re: I Want to develop apps but have no Developing/C++ skills
 

i see assembly as seriously difficult thts why i gave up on it..bt because i dd C it is less disturbing thn assembly so if anyone can help me nd th dude who made this thread id be very greatful..

Re: I Want to develop apps but have no Developing/C++ skills
 

C needed evangelists and a thick bible, assembler and python relies on logic and dont need that... :D

Btw, IF ( "C" && "c" ) { is that true or false and why is it so...} ;
