Hey guys,
I'm new here and trying to learn a lot about the N810. I was able to install PyGTKEditor along with Python2.5-runtime using Red Pill mode. I made a simple "Hello World" app.
I have no linux experience, only Windows and Visual c++. I would like to learn to program using PyGTKEditor on my N810.
I know many people develop applications on the PC with scratchbox. Is it unheard of to program on the N810 instead of the PC? I know the development is slower, but I figured I'm learning and will naturally go slow. Anyone else doing this?

Here is what I'm currently reading:

http://docs.python.org/tut/
http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/docu...emo_howto.html

Any other recommendations?

I'm just learning a couple simple things in X Terminal, like "ls", "cd", "python Hello.py". Any recommended readings on this?
Also, how is the directory structure set up? I learned that in X Terminal the "~ $" starts at /home/user/MyDocs. In File Manager, my top level (which I named "Don") contains "Audio clips", "Documents", "Games", etc. and it also contains any files from /home/user/MyDocs. I'm confused on that one. Can someone explain that a little?

Thanks Guys !
Don
