I am Learning how to program for both the iPhone and Maemo but i am not finding it as easy on Maemo as it is on the iPhone. If Nokia wants to get more new developers for Maemo it needs to makes things more easy.

How about having a Maemo Dev Center, where any and everything to get you started programming for Maemo on any OS will be.

Example:

SDK
Extra tools or plugins
Documentation
Video tutorial (Very very important)
List of books to get started
Example of simple source code of very very basic apps to give developers and idea of the look and feel.

i find that everything is sooo fragmented since i began learning to code for Maemo and as of today am still strugling to get everything set and ready on my mac.

when i started learning to code for the iPhone, i was ready to go within 2 hours because the of the ease provided by Apple for via the iPhone Dev Center.
