Developing apps for n900
 

Hi All,

Trust all is well.


I'm a gizmo enthusiast and got n900 last year. I installed few application from maemo.org, but now I want to create applications for it. I want to experience the joy of creating an application, seeing it being downloaded and used by others, receiving feedback.I'm a newbie to programming, know few Linux commands.

Where can I start and learn to program on my N900? Which programming language? Where can I get the understanding of maemo internals? Is there a best reference guide? What about learning curve? These are a few questions that plague my mind right now.

Please advise.


Regards,
Ashu

1 - You can start by reading the thousands of documentation in this section :
http://maemo.org/development/

2 - The programming language is up to you to choose, could be
python, C/Cpp... etc. If you know nothing of nothing about these
languages, I suggest you to learn the basics first, how they work,
and all, it's not thaaaat easy. ( Might be for somes, not for me at least =)

3 - Learning curve? You mean how long will it take for you to learn?
Only you can know it...

Hope it helps somehow.

Edit .: Forgot!

This section is also pretty nice if you want to start.

Thanks luiscesjr for your quick response. I'll take a look.

i suggest you work with qt, its like a framework for building the apps that should save you some work.
there's some tutorials out there that should get you started...

Look into qml as well. Its a fast easy way of building a front end - hell even a back end.
