Hey there, i'm looking into developing an app over my christmas leave for the N900. I posted what i'd like to do in this thread along with a few question which might have been best asked here

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38351

The point of this post is i'm finding it difficult as a first time linux and n900 developer to really find any guides to help me in and i found the API documents confusing. I'm a developer by trade, I work with Asp.Net and Java so i couldn't be any futher away from Linux and C, however i have used C and C++ before on university courses, so i have some understanding.

What i'm asking for is whether theres some guides i've missed or general information people could give me as a newbie in linux and maemo as everything seems very confusing for me right now.

I think maybe this is one area which could be improved upon to bring in more maemo developers, as I have a friend who was curious about developing for the N900 and got scared away by the confusion of it, as I might have been had it not be for my love of this device. When compared to developing ease of the iPhone and Andriod, the N900 is not that appealing to some leisure developers.

Thanks, Loz.
