I'm an IT graduate and used my n810 to do my C coding as assignments(some basic ones and all CLIs) but have never wrote any applications for tablet though. I did try using jalimo to write programs before in tablet as I only had java knowledge but never got anywhere maybe I was lazy or I was not satisfied with the comments on using jalimo in the tablet but now I know C, I'm going thru all the n900 developer guides and have also successfully installed scratchbox and maemo sdk in my computer. BTW, I started learning more about linux only after I got my n810 and yeah I'm also a big fan of maemo.
