I'm striving with the same newbee challenge as you, with much of the same background.

Some of the problem is that much of the information available at this site reflects the transitional phase we're currently in - moving from Maemo 4 to 5. Some of the ver 4 information is still relevant but some is outdated - without it being easy to know which is which. Hopefully the good guys gets things in place before too long.

Anyhow, it seems that currently the best starting point is (not surpisingly) the Maemo Developer Guide, that you find here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...eveloper_Guide.

However, there are newly published material that is not yet all included. Look here http://www.forum.nokia.com/Tools_Doc...n/Latest.xhtml for the guides etc. that was published on 18 Sept.

For my own part I'm considering to go ahead with Python and Qt since Maemo development will be continued on the Qt platform from next version of Maemo, (already being community supported in ver. 5.)

Except that it seems that the Python Qt widgets are not created yet, are there any other good reasons you will go ahead with GTK?
